abstract = {This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of burnout syndrome in adolescents entering
university studies, to detect differences in burnout levels, personality factors and fear of coronavirus
in a pandemic context due to COVID-19. A cross-sectional predictive study was performed with a
sample that comprised 134 individuals in their first year of a Psychology degree at Spanish universities.
The Maslach Burnout Inventory Student Survey, the NEO Five-Factor Inventory and the Fear of
COVID-19 Scale were applied. The prevalence of burnout is estimated according to three methods:
Maslach and Jackson’s severity classification, Golembiewski’s phase model and Maslach et al.’s
profile model. The estimates show significant differences. The results indicated that between 9 and
21% of students were at risk of developing burnout. On the other hand, students who reported
having suffered psychological consequences of the pandemic showed greater emotional exhaustion,
neuroticism and fear of COVID-19, and a lower level of personal accomplishment than those who
did not suffer such consequences. Neuroticism was the only significant predictor for all burnout
dimensions, and fear of COVID-19 did not contribute to any of them.},
