“…Although burnout is a work-related phenomenon, it can also be extended to work-like activities in non-work domains that are organized, coercive in nature, and oriented to specific goals (Schaufeli and Taris, 2005). For example, students’ burnout in the wake of the epidemic has received much attention from researchers, especially in the area of health (e.g., Turhan et al, 2022; Ye et al, 2022). During the normalization stage of COVID-19 prevention and control, prevention actions organized by campuses in China (e.g., nucleic acid testing of all personnel; Zhao et al, 2021) are consistent with the characteristics of work-like activities.…”

How COVID-19 prevention burnout impacts emotional symptoms among Chinese college students: A moderated mediation model

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The current study investigated the relationship between COVID-19 prevention burnout and emotional symptoms (depression and anxiety) among 1,837 Chinese college students and the underlying mechanisms. Results from moderated mediation analysis revealed that the association between COVID-19 prevention burnout and emotional symptoms was mediated by psychological inflexibility (β = 0.20, 95%CI = [0.10, 0.19]). Also, COVID-19 prevention burnout’s direct and indirect effects on emotional symptoms were more substantial for students with high susceptibility to emotional contagion than those with low susceptibility. These findings contribute to understanding how COVID-19 prevention burnout relates to emotional symptoms and provide a new perspective for interventions promoting students’ psychological flexibility, particularly those with higher susceptibility to emotional contagion.

“…The person-centred approach takes the individual as the unit of analysis and is able to reveal individual variation and the heterogeneity of burnout among students (Asikainen et al, 2022; Salmela-Aro and Read, 2017). For example, among studies investigating university students’ study-related burnout, the variable-centred approach generalises the relations between variables (Kok et al, 2023; Salmela-Aro et al, 2022; Schaufeli et al, 2002), while the person-centred approach identifies different combinations of burnout dimensions (May et al, 2020; Rönkkönen et al, 2022; Turhan et al, 2022). For example, burned- out students , or high burnout , have been depicted as students with relatively high risks on all three dimensions of burnout (May et al, 2020; Rönkkönen et al, 2022), while engaged students , or well- functioning students , are portrayed as those at relatively low risk of burnout (Salmela-Aro and Read, 2017; Turhan et al, 2022).…”

International students are at risk of burnout during their studies and face challenges in their writing. This study explores the burnout and self-efficacy profiles of international students and how these profiles differ in writing conceptions. Participants were 162 international students at a research-intensive Finnish university. They completed the HowULearn Questionnaire and the Writing Process Questionnaire. Latent profile analysis identified three profiles combining students’ burnout and self-efficacy: high burned-out students (16.0%), moderate burned-out students (45.1%), and low burned-out students with high self-efficacy (38.9%). The profile membership was not significantly related to students’ demographic, linguistic, or writing-related characteristics. The results showed that the combination of a lower level of study-related burnout and relatively higher self-efficacy led to fewer blocks, less procrastination and perfectionism, and more positive conceptions of knowledge transforming and productivity in writing. Overall, the study indicated that study-related burnout and self-efficacy contributes to understanding international students’ writing processes.

“…The transition to university and the challenges in higher education can increase susceptibility to the symptoms of academic burnout in students. Increasing evidence has indicated the significant prevalence and degree of burnout symptoms in university students since the COVID-19 outbreak [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Nonetheless, the literature has mainly mapped the trends related to local students and failed to highlight those related to international students.…”

(1) Background: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative for higher education institutions to understand the socio-psychological issues of international students, a potentially vulnerable population on campuses, to assist them in pursuing their academic path while maintaining their psychological well-being. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of academic burnout among international university students in Taiwan during the new normal and to explore the protective role of academic resilience. (2) Methods: Three hundred and eighty-three international university students in Taiwan were recruited and surveyed via the online self-administered questionnaire during the Fall semester of the 2022–2023 academic year. The data of sociodemographic characteristics, academic burnout, and academic resilience were collected and analyzed. (3) Results: The overall prevalence of high academic burnout was 12.01%. The majority of participants perceived significant depression and anxiety (detrimental factors) but moderate to high perception of academics and relationships (protective factors). There were significant relationships between resilience components and burnout symptoms. (4) Conclusions: Resilience may help to reduce burnout among international university students during the post-COVID-19 new normal, thereby protecting their mental health.
