The role of coping with stress and self-esteem in the academic burnout of high school students in the post-pandemic era

Academic burnout is emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion due to excessive long-term academic demands. Students who struggle to cope with stress and self-esteem can experience academic burnout. The research aimed to determine how coping with stress and self-esteem affected high school students’ academic burnout during the pandemic era. The accidental sampling method was used for 100 high school students in Malang. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) scale, the Coping Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (CQCA), and the Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) were used as data collection methods. For the test analysis, multiple linear regression was used. The results showed F count=(19.282>3.089) and sig value (0.000<0.05) which indicates that coping with stress and self-esteem has an impact on academic burnout, with a 28.4% contribution.
