Brief Summary
|
The title of the study is "The impact of study engagement and social support on academic burnout among undergraduate engineering students." Aim of the study: to investigate the impact of study engagement and social support on academic burnout among undergraduate engineering students. Objective(s) of the study: Primary objective: To evaluate the relationship between study engagement, social support, and academic burnout among undergraduate engineering students. Secondary objective: to assess the impact of social support on levels of academic burnout among undergraduates.
The study following the approval from the Department of Clinical Psychology, Manipal College of Health Professions, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, and the Institutional Research Committee (IRC), has been sent to the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) for review and clearance. Alongside receiving the ethical approval, registration under the Clinical Trials Registry, India will be completed.
A google form will be prepared consisting of a Consent Form, socio-demographic details, and all the scales- the Academic Burnout Scale, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students, and the Multidimensional Scale of perceived social support. The google form will be circulated to indian university students aged 18 to 25 through various communication channels such as face-to-face interactions, email, and social media platforms, and data will be collected. Students from MAHE, as well as other universities in India will be used as a sample for the study. The form will be shared in student social media groups (e.g., WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook) and further disseminated through peer-to-peer networks, allowing students to forward the form to their contacts, thereby expanding reach organically. Data will be collected through voluntary participation via the form. Data collected will be securely stored and analyzed to maintain confidentiality. Standardized psychological scales will be used to ensure data reliability and accuracy. Data collection will continue until the required number of participants has been achieved (244 participants) |
