Abstract

Recent studies have highlighted the efficacy of mindfulness training in alleviating stress and anxiety among students while also enhancing coping mechanisms and emotional regulation skills. This one-group pretest-posttest study aimed to assess the impact of a five-week online mindfulness-based stress reduction program on academic burnout in senior high school students from Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Pasig City. The study utilized the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory for students (OLBI-S) to measure burnout, focusing on its dimensions of exhaustion and disengagement. Descriptive statistics and paired samples t-tests were conducted using SPSS® due to the study's small sample size. Results indicated no significant differences between pretest and posttest scores in disengagement and overall academic burnout. However, there was a statistically significant decrease in scores on the exhaustion subscale post-intervention, suggesting that the mindfulness program may specifically mitigate feelings of physical and emotional depletion associated with academic demands. These findings contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the potential of mindfulness interventions in educational settings to target specific aspects of burnout among high school students.
