Burnout syndrome in university professors in the COVID-19 post-pandemic period

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply impacted higher education, increasing stress and emotional exhaustion among university faculty. The sudden transition to online teaching and the need to adapt to a changing academic environment have heightened tensions. High levels of burnout are evident in 71% of faculty, with 24% experiencing moderate levels, and 5% low levels. It is recommended that universities implement prevention programs and support policies to improve the mental health and well-being of the faculty.
