The Factors Influencing Academic Burnout among Vietnamese Students: A Case Study at FPT University

Abstract

Currently, Burnout is considered one of the most prevalent psychological disorder symptoms in the era of Industry 4.0. Burnout encompasses both emotional and mental exhaustion, significantly impacting daily life and work performance. Academic Burnout, particularly among university students, is a common condition that can contribute to decreased academic efficacy. Despite previous research on this issue, the study population of university students has been relatively limited. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that may cause Burnout in Vietnamese students and the effects experienced by Vietnamese students when facing academic burnout. The primary data was collected from 140 students studying from the first to fourth year at FPT University - a prominent university in Vietnam with campuses in all three regions of the country. The findings of this study indicate that the factors influencing academic Burnout in students include Stress-Anxiety and Learning online duration. Based on the obtained research results, universities and student counseling units can implement supportive measures to help Vietnamese students effectively overcome academic burnout.
