Özet

Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the extent to which the academic satisfaction of nursing students predicted their burnout levels. Methods: This is a descriptive study. The sample consisted of 424 nursing students. Data collection tools were developed by the researchers by reviewing the literature. In the study, a Socio-Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, a Faculty of Education Student Satisfaction Scale, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey were used. Results: Results indicated that 71% (n = 301) of the students were female, 62.5% (n = 265) were in the 20-23 age group, 57.5% (n = 244) had selected nursing voluntarily, 63.9% (n = 271) were currently satisfied with their department, and that 77.1% (n = 327) had future unemployment concerns. Also, the burnout levels of nursing students were determined to be affected significantly by the attitudes of the instructors (β = -0.177), the satisfaction levels explained 13.8% of the depersonalization levels, and the accomplishment level was significantly affected by the course and the syllabus (β = 0.102). Conclusion: The satisfaction of nursing students with the institution and education was determined to reduce their burnout levels significantly.
