STRESS AND BURNOUT SYNDROME IN ACCOUNTING STUDENTS

Abstract

This research sought to evaluate the variation in the level of stress and Burnout syndrome  during the 2019 academic year of students in the Accounting Sciences Course. The present research is classified as descriptive, quantitative and is a survey. Regarding the results, it was found that the students presented more symptoms in the phases of resistance and exhaustion, demonstrating chronicity of stress as the year went by. Regarding Burnout, there was a higher score in the Study and Personal Relationship constructs, with higher absolute values in the first two months, although it did not constitute a relevant statistical discrepancy. The study contributes to the planning of pedagogical proposals that enable a better reorganization of academic demands in order to reduce absenteeism and dropout from the course.
