Abstract
Objectives: 1) To investigate the relationship between academic burnout and the ability to cope with adversity, perceive stress, and experience anxiety related to COVID-19, and 2) to investigate the factors associated with academic burnout among students during the era of the new normal. Materials and methods: The samples group consisted of undergraduate students from Ramkhamhaeng University, totaling 494 individuals. The sample size was determined by the G*Power program and data were collected through online questionnaires. Statistical analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: The study found that 1) perceived stress and anxiety related to COVID-19 were correlated
with academic burnout at a moderate level ( r = . 41; p < .01), and a low level (r = .09; p < .05),
respectively. Meanwhile, academic burnout had an inverse correlated at a low level with the ability to cope adversity in four dimensions: (1) Control, (2) Original and Ownership (3) Reach and (4) Endurance (r = -.17, r = -.15, r = -.29, r = -26; p < .01), respectively 2) Factors related to the perceived stress, reach and control collectively predict academic burnout by 19.0% at a statistically significant (β = .37, -.23, and .14; p < .01), respectively. Conclusion: The perceived stress, reach and control were variables that can able to predict academic burnout. Base on this conclusion, these findings can be used as a guideline for organizing curriculum enhancement activities aimed at preventing future occurrences of academic burnout among students.
