Abstract

The academic school period in the context of the pandemic is an antecedent for the development and fixation of academic burnout. The aim was to analyze the academic burnout syndrome in university students during the pandemic by comparing its social variables. Comparative descriptive study, with quantitative approach, non-experimental - cross-sectional design. A total of 755 intentionally selected students participated and were administered the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey. It was found that the level of burnout syndrome in university students is moderate and, in the dimensions emotional exhaustion and depersonalization it is also at a medium level, unlike the personal fulfillment dimension, where the level is low. In addition, women and men present symptoms and signs, as well as, students who work and study, from the engineering area and from the first cycles (under 19 years of age). It is concluded that the study is original and clearly demonstrates the differences in the behavior of burnout syndrome among students according to their social variables.
