However, this phenomenon has also been reported in other participant groups including university students. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS), composed of the Exhaustion, Cynicism and Efficacy subscales, was used to evaluate burnout in this sample group while the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) was used to gather data related to engagement, a positive psychology construct composed of the three factors, namely vigor, dedication, and absorption. To date, no studies considered these factors in relation to occupational therapy students. This begs the question, is there a relationship between occupational therapy students’ self-reported levels of burnout and engagement? The study objectives are to (1) ascertain the self-reported levels of burnout and engagement in a sample of Australian Occupational undergraduate therapy students, and (2) analyze the sociodemographic, occupational and academic characteristic associated with these levels. The results indicate that a number of demographic and academic study variables are significantly associated with burnout syndrome and education engagement reported by undergraduate occupational therapy students.}, publisher = {Frontiers Media}, keywords = {Undergraduate students}, keywords = {Burnout}, keywords = {Academic}, keywords = {Education}, keywords = {Engagement}, title = {Education Burnout and Engagement in Occupational Therapy Undergraduate Students and Its Associated Factors}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2019.02889}, author = {Morales Rodríguez, Francisco Manuel and Pérez Mármol, José Manuel and Brown, Ted}, }
