Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the level of burnout and life satisfaction among university students was conducted with the participation of 353 students attending the Departments of Health Administration and Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Kırıkkale University, Faculty of Health Sciences. In the study, the “Burnout Measure – Short Version” developed by Pines (2005) and adapted into Turkish by Tümkaya et al. (2009), and the “Satisfaction with Life Scale” developed by Diener et al. (1985) and adapted into Turkish by Köker (1991) and Yetim (1993) were used as the data collection instruments. The study results revealed significant differences in the level of Burnout and Life Satisfaction with respect to gender, monthly household income, parental education and engagement in leisure time activities (p<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the Life Satisfaction and Burnout scores with respect to age group, year at university, number of siblings, weekly course hours and the existence of a special girl/boyfriend.
