Résumé
Burnout syndrome seems to involve fatigue that is characterised by loss of motivation,
lack of energy, and some apathy as a consequence of continued exposure to stress in demanding
performance circumstances. Background: The goal of the present study is to analyse the relationship
between burnout in university students with a degree in Teaching and some variables that may
be associated with it such as self-esteem, resilience or age. Methods: A total of 1547 graduate
students enrolled in the career of Teaching in the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the University
of Granada, Spain, participated in the study. Of them, 337 (21.8%) were men, 1195 (77.3%) were
women, 14 (0.9%) indicated other gender options, and 1 (0%) did not respond to this item. The
mean age of the participants was 20.52. Results: The results show that low levels of self-esteem
and resilience, are the variables that best predict the increase in burnout in students of Teaching.
Conclusions: Findings are discussed regarding applied implications and the need for future research.
Intervention initiatives focused on enhancing personal strengths such as resilience or self-esteem can
help students to cope with the stress associated with demanding educational situations and thus
reduce the presence of burnout.
