The low level of stress was commonly found (61.67%).The participants showed an early stage of depression ranged from mild to severe depression (51.03%). However, academic burnout (score of = 39.03, SD = 6.05) was found in the participants with the high levels of both disengagement and exhaustion dimension (78.54%) and (79.58%), respectively.
Regarding psychosocial variables, stress (β = .387) and depression (β = .212) were positively affected on academic burnout at .001, F= 115.68, p< .001. Together, the independent variables accounted for 32.4 % (Adj.R2 = .324) of the variance in overall of academic burnout.
