“…This finding is in line with a study which explored gender differences in burnout of students in Nigeria (Arumede et al, 2019). Furthermore, a previous study showed among 36 postgraduate students, a no significant difference in pretest mean burnout scores (Ezeudu, et al, 2019). But on the long run, experimental group posttest scores showed a significant enhancement compared with both experimental group pretest scores and with control group posttest scores (Ezeudu, et al, 2019).…”

Again, a study also shows that both sexes do not differ significantly in the experience of burnout (Adekolala, 2012).…”

This research examined the level of academic burnout as experienced by male and female childhood education students in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions in the South-east zone. Sixty (60) conveniently sampled childhood education students from public colleges of education and public universities were the respondents of this descriptive survey. A well-validated questionnaire assessing academic burnout in students was used for data collection. We used independent t-test for analysis of data collected. Results showed no significant difference in mean academic burnout among the male and female students. School-driven interventions are required to help these students in reducing academic burnout concerns.

“…The result further sustains recent evidence that REBT intervention programs are effective and can decrease student learning burnout. [39–42] This finding suggests the need to deal with the burnout of electrical and building construction undergraduate before full occupation entry. Otherwise, these set of vocational and technical students will enter into their occupation with symptoms of burnout syndrome.…”

Background:The investigation of burnout among undergraduate students is yet to receive the same amount of attention as burnout in employees. Despite the negative effects of burnout among students, there is dearth of literature on burnout problem among electrical and building technology undergraduate students. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the burnout levels and the effect of rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on symptoms of burnout among electrical and building technology undergraduate students in South–East zone of Nigeria.Method:A group randomized trial design involving a treatment group versus no-treatment group was adopted for this study. One hundred fifty four undergraduate students of electrical and building technology who met the study's inclusion criteria were selected from public universities in the South–East zone of Nigeria. The intervention consisted of 10 weeks of REBT treatment and 8 weeks of follow-up meetings conducted at 4 months. A self-report questionnaire was used for data collection. Repeated-measures analysis of variance, paired sample t test, and Chi-Squared were used for data analysis.Results:The outcome indicated that the levels of burnout syndrome among the students are high and REBT had a significant effect on the symptoms of burnout syndrome among the electrical and building technology students in the treatment group compared to their counterparts in the no-treatment group. Finally, the positive gains were significantly maintained by the treatment group at follow-up.Conclusion:The current study suggests that an REBT program can be effective for dealing with burnout syndrome among the population of undergraduate students of electrical and building technology in Nigeria.
