Validation of the Burnout Assessment Tool among (inter)national students from a Dutch university
Introduction
Burnout impacts academic performance and commitment of university students. It is therefore essential to have an up-to-date and psychometrically sound instrument for detecting burnout symptoms. Although a new valid and reliable instrument, namely the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT), was developed for workers, it has not yet been established whether the BAT can be used in Dutch and English with Dutch and international university students, respectively.
Objective
This study aimed to validate the Dutch and English versions of the BAT for university students. Specifically, the psychometric properties, factorial structure, and measurement invariance of the tool across Dutch and international student populations were examined.
Method
The participants were 991 students from a Dutch university. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, while convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated by examining correlations with other measures. To assess the factorial validity of the BAT, Multi-group Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA) was employed. Moreover, measurement invariance was tested to ensure comparability of the tool across Dutch and international students.
Results
The BAT demonstrated high reliability and good convergent and discriminant validity. The MGCFA supported a second-order factorial model, while measurement invariance indicated that the instrument can be used comparably across Dutch and international students.
Conclusion
The findings of the current study suggest that the BAT is a reliable tool for assessing burnout symptoms among both Dutch and international students. The instrument can help in the early detection of burnout symptoms, ultimately contributing to improved student well-being and academic performance.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
