Abstract

Burnout is characterized as an occupational syndrome that can lead to feelings of exhaustion, depletion of energy, mental detachment, feelings of negativity, among others, and may contribute to reduced productivity and professional effectiveness. When detected in university students, and because it is an increasingly evident reality as an educational phenomenon, it requires protective strategies against this chronic syndrome. Based on the descriptive method and reflective analysis, after a literature review, some influencing causes and impact on the student are described, seeking to understand strategies that facilitate its prevention.
