“…In the present research, we found that only one of the three components of burnout syndrome, depersonalization, positively predicts alcohol consumption, and that emotional exhaustion and achievement dissatisfaction do not, coinciding in part with previous findings that the relation between burnout syndrome and alcohol consumption can be partially attributed to other variables [44][45][46][47][48]50].…”

“…The relationship between burnout and alcohol consumption has been explored with mixed results [44][45][46]; some studies did not find a significant association between burnout and alcohol consumption or found an association only when another variable was present [47][48][49][50]. According to Frone [51], only those workers who cannot cope with stressors or have certain vulnerabilities use alcohol as a way of dealing with stress.…”

To verify the role played by burnout in the prediction of alcohol consumption, considering the integration of the theory of job demands-resources (JD-R) and sociocognitive theory (SCT), we developed an analytical model in which self-efficacy and depression act as mediators of this relationship. A cross-sectional online survey was taken by 3856 workers enrolled in various public agencies of the Mexican Health Ministry during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico. The results indicate that of the three dimensions of burnout, only depersonalization predicts alcohol consumption; however, self-efficacy regulates the effect of emotional exhaustion and achievement dissatisfaction on alcohol consumption. Similarly, the three components of burnout have indirect effects through depression, suggesting that depression and self-efficacy mediate the relationship between burnout and alcohol consumption. Burnout alone cannot explain alcohol consumption, but when depression is present, burnout increases the predisposition to consume alcohol; when self-efficacy is present, the probability of alcohol consumption decreases.

“…Contradictory findings on the use of tranquillisers have been reported in various studies (Erschens et al, 2018; Andrade et al, 2021). It is possible that students who were already taking tranquillisers at the beginning of this study were experiencing burnout or dealing with underlying mental health issues that put them at greater risk of burnout.…”

Background Burnout is highly prevalent among medical students. This study aimed to assess burnout levels over the course of a semester and identify variables that might explain burnout’s variance over time. Method This longitudinal study involved medical students from a Portuguese school. Participants completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Mental Health Inventory-5, along with questions related to social support, help-seeking behaviours, academic performance, mental health and lifestyle assessment at the beginning (first phase), middle (second phase) and end (third phase) of the first semester of 2018–2019 academic year. Results A total of 108 participants provided responses in all phases (paired sample). The prevalence of burnout in the first phase was 28.2%, which increased to 34% in the second and 39.5% in the third. To explore factors contributing to burnout levels, we used the 332 responses obtained in the third phase (non-paired sample). Higher burnout levels were associated with poor academic performance, mental health stigma, consumption of tranquillisers and living away from home. Conversely, they were negatively associated with social support and a healthy lifestyle. Conclusions The study reveals a high prevalence of burnout among medical students, with burnout levels increasing throughout the semester. These levels are influenced by modifiable variables.

“…The vulnerable situations of the students, emotional conflicts in the academia environment, excess of activities and competitiveness are pointed as the most contributing factors in the development of high levels of stress and alcohol misuse. This excessive alcohol consumption may be viewed as a dysfunctional coping mechanism, since the students may abuse alcohol as a strategy for regulating tension and stressful situations in the academia [43][44][45][46] .…”

The COVID-19 outbreak has had an immense impact on academic life and public health. Graduate students had experienced obligatory curfews and quarantines due to the COVID-19 outbreak directly impacting their mental health and triggering academic burnout. In this cross-sectional study, we address the issue of mental health in graduate students by relating it to the factors associated with burnout syndrome during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 519 graduate students from master's and Ph.D./DLA degrees across universities in Hungary and other European countries participated in this study. The Copenhagen burnout inventory student version was used to evaluate burnout syndrome as an outcome. Our findings displayed burnout significantly lower among graduate students who had good sleep quality, receive high levels of support from their university, and were satisfied with how their university dealt with the pandemic. The excessive consumption of alcohol, the use of antidepressants, being single, and thinking about dropping out showed as predictive factors of burnout. The results add to emergent evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and the predicted factors of academic burnout among master and doctoral students.
