| Sumario: | Academic or student burnout arises from the assumption that students, specifically university students, like any professional, encounter pressures and overloads typical of academic work. The students, like any worker, maintain a relationship of direct and indirect compensation with the university institution, evidenced in financial support, scholarships, recognition or awards. This syndrome affects more those professionals who have direct contact with people and with a humanistic philosophy in their work. Those professions or professionals that need great dedication and involvement are the most affected. In this sense, if it is considered that the situation of a university student entails a load of hours dedicated to the activity similar to those of a profession or trade carried out formally. Objective: To analyze the prevalence of SB, and provide the undergraduate student with tools for self-diagnosis of Burnout syndrome and the empowerment of information to prevent the appearance of the syndrome.
A cross-sectional study was conducted. The Atienza 2010 Labor Burnout Scale was used. The respondents participated in a workshop on Burnout and in this framework, with prior consent, the scale was applied. A total of 113 Health Sciences students were surveyed at a private university in Villa Mercedes San Luis.
The prevalence of Burnout syndrome in students is 69.8%, with 40.5% moderate and 29.3% severe, 30.2% did not present burnout syndrome.
Early detection of SB through the application of EBLA facilitates monitoring and control of occupational health in the educational sector. To achieve educational quality, it is necessary to preserve the health of its members. Burnout levels are high in students and measures must be taken by the authorities to avoid these levels. |
