Keywords:
Academic burnout, nursing student, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishmentAbstract
Academic burnout has become increasingly prevalent among higher-education students, particularly those in the health sciences. This condition leads to numerous adverse consequences, making it an issue of considerable importance. This cross-sectional survey investigated factors related to academic burnout during clinical nursing practice among 120 third-year nursing students. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, and Fisher’s exact test, with a significance level set at 0.05. The results indicated that the majority of participants were female (93.30%), and most (73.30%) exhibited ambivert personality traits. The overall average level of academic burnout indicated high levels of emotional exhaustion, moderate levels of depersonalization, and high levels of personal accomplishment. Based on the study, the factors statistically associated with academic burnout are as follows: personal factors, particularly personality traits, were related to emotional exhaustion; psychiatric disorders and social relationship factors with friends and family were related to depersonalization; and social relationship factors with friends were related to personal accomplishment. The findings of this study can serve as a foundational database for developing programs to prevent academic burnout, enhance the quality of teaching and learning, and ultimately promote a better quality of academic life.
