Abstract

Stress in students remains a challenge when facing new changes in the life of adolescents or young adults. That's why the Maslach scale has been a tool that provides us with guidance on this issue in university students. Objective: To determine the percentage of Burnout in Physiotherapy students at the National University of Chimborazo in 2023. Methodology: A mixed study with a qualitative approach, supported by verifiable scientific sources such as scientific articles, journals, and websites, using an inductive method. Additionally, the Maslach test was administered to Physiotherapy students at the National University of Chimborazo in Ecuador. Result: According to an analysis conducted among students to diagnose Burnout Syndrome, 42% of them indicate that they experience it, but at an early stage. Another 40% express a high likelihood of developing it, while 9% are at advanced stages of the syndrome. The remaining 7% do not have it, and only 3% are in a state of exhaustion or fatigue.
