Academic burnout and psychological well-being in Peruvian higher education students in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
Keywords:
Academic burnout, psychological well-being, university students, education, emotional exhaustion, cynicism, academic effectiveness.Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the migration from the face-to-face or blended teaching-learning modality to virtuality, which has forced students to adapt to this new scenario, however, despite the fact that this modality has favorable aspects, it has also had implications in the socio-emotional aspect. In this sense, the objective of this research was to determine the relationship between academic burnout and psychological well-being in students of a pedagogical higher education institute in Peru during the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research approach was quantitative, the design was non-experimental, and the type was descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 150 students to whom the Maslach Burnout Inventory Student Survey (MBI-SS) and the Psychological Well-being Scale were applied, instruments with the required levels of validity and reliability. The main findings indicate that the students were characterized by moderate levels of academic burnout as well as psychological well-being and it was determined that there is an inverse and significant relationship between both variables (rho= -0.601; p<0.05). It was concluded that it is necessary to implement intervention programs that allow the development of protective factors and coping strategies in students so that they can cope adequately in stressful situations and thus improve their psychological well-being.
