Burnout in university happens when students face ongoing stress and frustration and with no time to relax and recharge. University students run busy lives – with part-time jobs, societies and relationships. It’s no time until students become fatigued or burnt out.
In an article by Healthline, a survey conducted by Ohio State University found that high rates of university students who are experiencing anxiety, depression or burnout lean towards unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Student burnout has also risen significantly from August 2020 to April 2021 according to experts with student burnout being 40% in August, rising to 71% in the survey.
It is crucial now more than ever that universities ensure that there is high-quality support in place for students who are struggling.
