A Study on Relationship between Academic Burnout and Psychological Well-being among University Students

Abstract

With increasing academic pressures, students often experience exhaustion and disengagement impacting their overall mental health. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between academic burnout and psychological well-being among university students. Understanding the relationship between these variables can help in developing better intervention strategies for students’ well-being. A total of 65 university students, aged 18-25 years, participated in the study. Data was collected using standardized scales. Findings revealed a significant negative relationship between academic burnout and psychological well-being, indicating that students experiencing higher burnout reported lower well-being. The study highlights the need for support programs focusing on stress management and promoting mental well-being for students. Universities should implement burnout prevention strategies, such as counselling and time management workshops, to enhance students’ mental well-being.
