Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine to what extent the psychoeducation program affects the burnout levels of university students. This research is an quasi-experimental study using pretest-posttest design with a control group. The study group consists of 24 students who were studying at Selcuk University Faculty of Health Sciences in the 2018-2019 academic year and volunteering to participate in the group study. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Scale (MBI-SS) and Personal Information Form were used as data collection tools in the study. The psychoeducation program for university students has been prepared based on cognitive behavioral therapy approach. A psychoeducation program consisting of 8 sessions, prepared to reduce the burnout levels of university students, was applied to the experimental group for 8 weeks. Two-way analysis of variance and t-test were used for mixed measurements to analyze the data. The analysis results showed that the psychoeducation program was effective in reducing the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores of the students in the experimental group.
