Presentation Title:

Burnout in university students: A narrative review

Abstract

Context
The increasing prevalence of burnout among university students in demanding academic environments highlights the need for an in-depth understanding of this phenomenon, aiming to guide more effective prevention, detection and intervention strategies. 

Objective
This narrative review aimed to: a) describe the manifestations of burnout syndrome in university students; b) identify the risk factors associated with its development; and c) determine the relevant protective factors. 

Methods
A narrative review was carried out that encompassed 20 scientific articles, encompassing a total of 11,596 university students, both national and international. 

Results
It was found that students with high levels of low selfesteem, anxiety, stress and depression were more predisposed to developing burnout syndrome. On the other hand, the main protective factors identified included: high self-esteem, use of effective coping strategies, high academic engagement, positive teaching leadership and high socioeconomic status.

Conclusions
Integration and adaptation to higher education are complex processes, influenced by different dynamics faced by students. The importance of a deep understanding of students' needs is highlighted, allowing for early and appropriate intervention that encompasses the effective prevention, identification and treatment of burnout.
