Burnout is a psychological condition characterized by fatigue, cynicism, and self-inactivity as a response to chronic work stress. Burnout is also seen as a condition of ineffective coping mechanisms to protect oneself from work stress.
Burnout occurs not only in workers, but students are also vulnerable to this burnout. According to the Health Line study, in 2021, as many as 40% of students will experience burnout. From the data that has been collected, 73.12% of the participants experienced a high level of fatigue, 57.03% of the participants were in the category of moderate cynicism, and decreased academic efficacy in 49.43% of the participants in the low category.
Given the large proportion, organizational activities and Student Activity Units on campus have the greatest influence. Both intra- and extra-campus activities make students feel disturbed in lecture activities; they sometimes sacrifice one of them so they can manage their time and energy. Students with a lot of busyness often feel a lot of insistent burdens that make the burden feel more so that feelings of anxiety, laziness and indifference arise, and then burnout increases.
Burnout conditions as described above can occur because as much as 20.4% of the data obtained by students often delay doing assignments and get bored easily, followed by 19.6% feeling that they have low motivation, difficulty concentrating and feeling anxious are also symptoms of burnout for, 18.7% of students, and the rest are because students still have a low level of self-confidence.
From the search results, taking a short break is the main step in the problem if fatigue occurs in someone, especially students. From the data obtained, as many as 46.5% of people choose to sleep to overcome it, after which they get a more relaxed mind after opening their eyes. But other than that, there are other ways to deal with self-burnout problems, such as doing activities you like, spending time with friends and family, and giving yourself self-rewards.
