“…The result further sustains recent evidence that REBT intervention programs are effective and can decrease student learning burnout. [39–42] This finding suggests the need to deal with the burnout of electrical and building construction undergraduate before full occupation entry. Otherwise, these set of vocational and technical students will enter into their occupation with symptoms of burnout syndrome.…”

“…Otherwise, these set of vocational and technical students will enter into their occupation with symptoms of burnout syndrome. Some of the previous researches which examined the impact of REBT on burnout were conducted using only school teachers, [37] English education students, [39] and students of Chemistry education.

“…Some studies include very large sample size to the extent that continuing randomization beyond the point of near-certainty will result in ethical discomfort. [44] Some similar studies with adequate sample sizes based on power calculations include that of Ogbuanya et al (n = 124) [8] , Ugwoke et al (n = 54) [37] , Ezenwaji et al (n = 52), [38] Igbokwe et al (n = 96), [39] and Ezeudu et al (n = 30, n = 36). [41,42] However, a critical analysis of the sample size utilized in these previous and recent studies shows that our current sample is even larger in size, thus, this is an improvement to the sample sizes utilized by clinical trials investigating the impact of REBT on burnout symptoms.…”

Background:The investigation of burnout among undergraduate students is yet to receive the same amount of attention as burnout in employees. Despite the negative effects of burnout among students, there is dearth of literature on burnout problem among electrical and building technology undergraduate students. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the burnout levels and the effect of rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on symptoms of burnout among electrical and building technology undergraduate students in South–East zone of Nigeria.Method:A group randomized trial design involving a treatment group versus no-treatment group was adopted for this study. One hundred fifty four undergraduate students of electrical and building technology who met the study's inclusion criteria were selected from public universities in the South–East zone of Nigeria. The intervention consisted of 10 weeks of REBT treatment and 8 weeks of follow-up meetings conducted at 4 months. A self-report questionnaire was used for data collection. Repeated-measures analysis of variance, paired sample t test, and Chi-Squared were used for data analysis.Results:The outcome indicated that the levels of burnout syndrome among the students are high and REBT had a significant effect on the symptoms of burnout syndrome among the electrical and building technology students in the treatment group compared to their counterparts in the no-treatment group. Finally, the positive gains were significantly maintained by the treatment group at follow-up.Conclusion:The current study suggests that an REBT program can be effective for dealing with burnout syndrome among the population of undergraduate students of electrical and building technology in Nigeria.

“…At first, we conducted a within-between-subject factors 2-way mixed repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the main effect of treatment condition, the main effect of time (before treatment vs after treatment and follow-up); and the time × group interaction effect in the different subscales of burnout as in previous research. [ 54 ] We used partial eta squared to determine the effect size of the intervention. Since the group effect, time effect and the time × group interaction effect were all significant, a post-hoc analysis was performed with the Bonferroni correction in order to determine the specific point of significance of the intervention for the different times for each of the group.…”

Background/Objective: Both athletes with and without disabilities can develop burnout symptoms. However, athletes with disabilities may face different or more challenges compared to their counterparts without disabilities. The present study aimed at ascertaining the effect of digital storytelling intervention on burnout thoughts of adolescent-athletes with disabilities. Method: This study is a randomized controlled trial involving a total of 171 adolescent-athletes with disabilities who showed a high degree of burnout symptoms. These adolescent-athletes were randomly assigned to either an intervention group ( n = 85) or a waitlisted control group ( n = 86). The treatment intervention for the adolescent-athletes was digital stories which were created based on the framework of rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT). The Athlete Burnout Questionnaire was used for gathering of data at three different times (baseline, post-test and follow up). Data were analyzed using repeated measure analysis of variance at a significant level of 0.05. Results: Results showed that the digital storytelling intervention based on REBT significantly reduced burnout thoughts among disabled adolescent-athletes in the intervention group compared to athletes in the waitlisted control group as measured by the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire. Additionally, at follow-up evaluation, it was observed that the decrease in burnout scores was maintained by those athletes in the digital storytelling intervention. Conclusion: Digital storytelling intervention based on rational emotive behaviour therapy shows great potentials in addressing burnout among adolescent-athletes with disabilities.

“…In Nigeria, most of the student burnout studies have been interventional in approach while the cross-sectional studies have been limited to students in other disciplines (e.g. Ezenwaji et al, 2019;Igbokwe et al, 2019;Nwefuru, et al 2018;Ogbuanya et al, 2018). Hence, the research main purpose was to ascertain gender differences in academic burnout among Economics Education students in federal universities in South-East Nigeria.…”

The study objective was to ascertain gender differences in academic burnout among Economics Education undergraduate students in South-East Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional research design. Respondents were a convenience sample of 550 Economics Education students from federal universities in the area of study. A self-report burnout questionnaire was used for data collection. Mean, standard deviation and t-test were used for analysis of data. The outcome of the study revealed that there is no significant mean difference in academic burnout among male and female undergraduate students in Economics Education. Thus, government through higher education regulatory bodies should intensify efforts in providing adequate facilities, good learning environment and manpower to encourage effective learning and reduce burnout symptoms among Economics Education students in South-East Nigeria.
