Synopsis
Separation from family and social environment for the first time after secondary school and adjusting to a new environment can make university students particularly vulnerable to stress. Problems with classmates and academics in university life, academic competition, as well as the perceived lack of support from friends can increase the stress experienced and reveal a common problem such as school burnout. Burnout is a remarkable emotional problem that mostly occurs in different professions today. However, it is noteworthy that recently studies in this field have been designed for students. On the other hand, the prevalence of this syndrome in the university student population has been limitedly addressed in both national and international scientific literature. University students with a high level of burnout may have a distant attitude towards school and may feel inadequate. Investigating the prevalence of burnout among university students and identifying protective mechanisms can prevent future difficulties in education plans and create an important opportunity for academic success. In this context, it is considered important to examine some personal resources (academic self-efficacy, grit, and academic resilience, etc.) in preventing and reducing school burnout in university students.
