Abstract
[Resumen] En los últimos años existe un creciente
interés por determinar los factores que inciden en el
origen y el mantenimiento del burnout académico. En
este contexto, en el presente trabajo se analiza la posible
existencia de diferencias signifi cativas en el burnout
experimentado por los estudiantes universitarios
en función de su nivel de autoestima. La muestra está
compuesta por 487 estudiantes de Fisioterapia de diversas
universidades españolas, 354 mujeres (72.68%)
y 133 varones (27.32%), con edades comprendidas
entre los 18 y los 47 años (M = 21.28 y DT = 4.32). Para
medir la autoestima, se utilizó la Escala de Autoestima
de Rosenberg; para evaluar el burnout, se usó el Maslach
Burnout Inventory (MBI). Como procedimiento de
análisis de datos, se efectuó un ANOVA de un factor,
así como la d de Cohen. Los resultados de este trabajo
ponen de manifi esto que, cuando los estudiantes tienen
una baja autoestima, aparecen manifestaciones
más claras de burnout. En cambio, cuanto mayor es
la valoración que hacen de sí mismos, menores síntomas
de agotamiento y despersonalización y mayores
niveles de realización personal manifi estan los estudiantes.
Dado el rol protector de la autoestima sobre
el burnout, se incide en la importancia de potenciar la
autoestima de los estudiantes como estrategia para
prevenir la aparición del síndrome.
[Abstract] What variables are implicated in burnout appearance and maintenance among university students is one of the facts that has raised lately a greater attention in burnout investigation. In this context, our work assesses if students’ self-esteem level causes meaningful differences in students’ burnout. The sample comprised a total of 487 students selected among different Spanish universities of Physiotherapy, 354 women (72.68%) and 133 men (27.32%), aged between 18 and 47 years old (M = 21.28; SD = 4.32). We measure self-esteem by using Rosenberg’s Self- Esteem Scale. Burnout was evaluated by using Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). One-way ANOVA was calculated in order to estimate statistical differences in students’ burnout according to their level of self-esteem. Furthermore, Cohen’s d was used in order to establish the effect sizes of those differences. Our results show that burnout syndrome appears when students’ self-esteem is low. Nevertheless, higher levels of selfesteem show lower levels of emotionally exhaustion and despersonalization, and higher levels of personal accomplishment. In view that self-esteem works as a protector factor of burnout, we highlight that enhancing students’ self esteem is one of the better ways to prevent this syndrome.
