Abstract
Burnout is on the rise, particularly among university teachers, due to the demanding nature of their work. This study aims to identify the determinants of burnout among university teachers in the city of Kikwit. A quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out among 157 teachers in Kikwit to identify the determinants of burnout. The results reveal that age is a key factor, with a 56% burnout rate among teachers aged 40 to 49, compared with just 8% among those aged 20 to 39. A gender disparity is also observed: 39% of men and 10% of women suffer from burnout. Professional experience plays a significant role, with 84% of teachers with more than six years' seniority suffering from burnout, compared with 17% of those with less experience. Those with a bachelor's degree suffer more (87%) than those with a master's or doctorate. Institutional variations are noted, with 50% of teachers at ‘Institut Supérieur des Techniques Médicales de Kikwit’ suffering burnout, compared with just 7% at ‘Université de Kikwit’. Workload and job satisfaction are also determinants, while access to psychological support services and the use of stress management strategies help reduce burnout.This study aims to raise awareness among decision-makers and educational institutions of the need to adopt appropriate strategies to prevent burnout and improve the quality of teachers' working lives, thereby ensuring a healthier, more productive educational environment.
