“…Gratitude is positively linked to a sense of purpose and meaning in life [20,50,51]. Both a disposition towards gratitude and a sense of purpose in life may help to buffer stress-related psychological disturbances caused by COVID-19 [16]. The empirical evidence on differences in the experience of gratitude depending on gender in the vast majority of cases supports this thesis.…”

Aim: This study investigated whether gratitude and fear of COVID-19 mediated the relationship between crisis experience during the pandemic and purpose in life in men and women. Methods: Six hundred and five participants aged between 18 and 60 years (M = 25.6; SD = 8.39) completed the Gratitude, Resentment, and Appreciation Scale—Short Form (GRAT-S), Fear of COVID-19 Scale, and Purpose in Life Test (PIL). In addition, the respondents were questioned about life crises during the previous six months (e.g., the death of a loved one or illness). Results: Men and women differed in their endorsement of gratitude or fear of COVID-19 as a mediator. Women’s experiences of the crisis related both directly and indirectly to purpose in life, with gratitude and fear of COVID-19 mediating this relationship. In men, only the indirect path, from crisis experience, through gratitude, to purpose in life, turned out to be significant. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that coping styles differ in men and women and, as a consequence, that crisis interventions need to take gender into account.

“…Extensive research has been conducted on the proactive, even preventive, effects of gratitude on reducing burnout in a wide variety of professions including medical teams, athletes, and students (Camero & Carrico, 2022;Ruser et al, 2020;Yukhymenko-Lescroart, 2022). For instance, a study by Guan and Jepsen (2020) identified gratitude as a positive resource for healthcare teams, buffering the effects of cognitive overload on emotional exhaustion and the effects of response modulation on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.…”

Psychological burnout is strongly associated with negative effects on people’s life, including their emotional well-being and physical health. Due to prolonged periods of stress, heavy workloads, limited resources and time constraints, teachers are prone to burnout, leading to aversive, prolonged consequences. While previous studies have investigated various factors associated with their burnout, we explored the association between teachers’ relational and personal variables, applying a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 248 Israeli teachers (85.1% worked in educational settings for typically developing children, 52.4% were employed in high schools), who completed the following questionnaires: Teachers’ burnout, Perceived social support, Gratitude, Hope, Active entitlement and Loneliness. Results demonstrated negative links between burnout and social support, gratitude and hope as well as a positive link with loneliness. A serial multiple mediation revealed that, whereas social support and hope were associated with lower levels of burnout, feelings of loneliness and a sense of entitlement were related to higher levels of it. Furthermore, gratitude, hope, a sense of entitlement, and loneliness linked social support with burnout. We concluded with a discussion of the implications for future research, theory, and interventions.

“…This seems to be negatively associated with academic burnout and correlated with low academic engagement and loneliness, even before the COVID-19 pandemic. These factors were worse during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the social isolation force the loneliness became more frequent since the support from friends and the academic community shifted predominantly to online chats and meetings (Caesens et al, 2014;Galdino et al, 2016;Gewin, 2021;Naumann et al, 2022;Peltonen et al, 2017;Singh et al, 2020;Yukhymenko-Lescroart, 2022).…”

The COVID-19 outbreak has had an immense impact on academic life and mental health of graduate students. Graduate students had experienced obligatory curfews and quarantines due to the COVID-19 outbreak directly impacting their mental health and triggering academic burnout. This Ph.D. thesis aimed to evaluate the effect of Burnout Syndrome in graduate students during the COVID-19. The current thesis is composed of six chapters. Chapter one is an introductory chapter that introduces the etiology of Burnout Syndrome, concept of Academic Burnout, including its factors associated, implications and consequences, as well as the impact of COVID- 19 among graduate students. Chapter two presents the first part of the current research, which is a systematic review of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic burnout researched according to the PRISMA guideline. Chapter three displays the second part of this research, which is assessing the family functionality, perceived social support, and coping with burnout syndrome among graduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapter four explores the factors associated with burnout syndrome among graduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The last two chapters were a cross-section study with 519 graduate students from master's and Ph.D./DLA degrees. Chapter five presents the novel findings of this thesis, including the recommendations, and implications for practice and research. Finally, chapter six shows the list of publications related to the current thesis and other topics. The findings in this thesis can provide valuable insights into the patterns and predictors of academic burnout among graduate students. As well as helping higher education institutions, especially in challenging environments like a pandemic, to better recognize external factors contributing to academic burnout. Furthermore, these findings can be a resource for prospective graduate students and university administrators, aiding them in identifying, advocating for, and implementing necessary changes to support individuals experiencing academic burnout and proactively prevent its development in others.
