Background: Burnout Syndrome is defined as a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic

workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. Academic faculties are more prone to

experience Burnout Syndrome due to the fact that they manage academic tasks, administrational tasks and

other works that would lead to prolonged stress.

Objective Of The Study: To analyze the prevalence of Burnout syndrome and associative factors among

academic faculties in a university


Study Design: A Cross Sectional Study Design was selected for the study.

Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study done using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory in the online

mode. Before conducting the research, permission to conduct the research was acquired from the Dean of

Faculties. The study was then ethically approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. Then the

questionnaire is sent to the participants in the form of a google form. 68 academic faculties from various

colleges within the university were administered with the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory through online

mode. Faculties of various qualifications and posts with a permanent position without any other

associated physical, psychiatric and neurological conditions were recruited in the study. Besides this,

pregnant faculties were even excluded. The survey was conducted for a period of 6 weeks. The study

design was of cross sectional design and the Simple random sampling was employed for the study. Then

the results are formulated and analyzed through the software SPSS new revised version 1.6. Only full-

time academic faculties. Faculties of any qualification or post. Both genders are included. Must know to

read, write and understand English. Only permanent or temporary staffs. Duration of my study is 6

weeks.

Result: Among the 68 participants: 69.1% exhibited mild personal burnout. 82.4% experienced mild

work-related burnout. 89.7% presented with mild client-related burnout. The prevalence of mild burnout

levels across all domains indicates a substantial impact of work-related stress on academic faculties.

Conclusion: This study highlights that most participants exhibited mild levels of personal, work-related,

and client-related burnout. The findings underscore the need for universities to address faculty well-being

by implementing stress management programs, fostering supportive work environments, and providing

professional mental health resources to mitigate the impact of chronic workplace stress.
