Abstract

Background: Academic burnout (AB) is an insidious process characterized by the feeling of emotional exhaustion due to the demands of academic life. Despite its impact on people's health, its prevalence has not yet been reported in Peru. The objective was to estimate the prevalence of AB, based on the emotional exhaustion experienced by university students, and the differences according to the student's year of study and sex. Method: Participants were 341 college students (76% women) from several institutions who were enrolled between the second and fourth year-of-studies. The Emotional Exhaustion Scale was used to measure students' AB. Results: The prevalence of AB was described by percentages and the comparison between groups was performed with effect size measures. The results reveal BA levels at a high level (31.4%) and risk (11.7%). On the other hand, women score higher than men in BA, but no differences were found according to the year of study. The association with anxiety and depression was moderate. Conclusions: The prevalence of academic burnout was significant, and it is associated with anxiety and depression.
新冠肺炎大流行期间大学生学业倦怠的发生率和严重程度
背景:学业倦怠(Academic burnout, AB)是一种潜在性的过程,其特征是由于学业生活的需要而产生的情绪耗竭感。尽管它对人们的健康有影响,但秘鲁尚未报告其流行情况。目的是估计AB的患病率,根据大学生所经历的情绪耗竭,并根据学生的学习年份和性别的差异。方法:参与者是341名大学生(76%为女性),来自几所院校,就读于二年级至四年级。采用情绪耗竭量表对学生的AB进行测量。结果:AB的发生率以百分比描述,组间比较采用效应量测量。结果显示BA水平高(31.4%),风险高(11.7%)。另一方面,女性在文学学士方面的得分高于男性,但根据研究年份没有发现差异。与焦虑和抑郁的关联是中度的。结论:学业倦怠的患病率显著,且与焦虑、抑郁相关。
