CAMARA, Sheila Gonçalves  and  CARLOTTO, Mary Sandra. Academic stressors as predictors of burnout syndrome in university students. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2024, vol.29, e290020.  Epub Mar 10, 2024. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782024290020.

Burnout Syndrome in students is a feeling of exhaustion due to the demands of the study proceeding in an attitude of disbelief and a sense of ineffectiveness of professional training. The objective of the study was to identify the predictive power of academic stressors on Burnout Syndrome in a sample of 1,169 university students. As instruments, the Burnout Syndrome Assessment Scale in University Students, a sociodemographic and academic questionnaire, and a questionnaire on academic stressors were used. The stressors that predicted Burnout Syndrome were relationships with teachers, reconciling study and leisure, many subjects to take, relationships with colleagues, performing extracurricular work, performing tests and class work, performing tests and class work, and reconciling studies / professional internships. The results suggest the need for intervention in academic stressors present in the university context.
