Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the relationship between self-efficacy and academic burnout among sports science undergraduates in Indonesia. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Is higher self-efficacy associated with lower academic burnout among sports science undergraduates?
• Does higher self-efficacy reduce the odds of experiencing moderate academic burnout? A total of 233 sports science undergraduates (semesters 3-4) at State University of Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia took part in this study. Most participants were male (71.2%), aged 20-21 years. Participants completed two questionnaires on a single occasion:
• The General Self-Efficacy Scale-12 (GSES-12) to measure self-efficacy
• The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) to measure academic burnout NOTE: This study was retrospectively registered. The study was conducted from March to May 2025 and received ethical clearance (No. 95/UN4.6.4.5.31/ PP36/2025) from the Biomedical Research Ethics Committee, Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University, on February 11, 2025, prior to study initiation. Registration was performed after study completion due to the investigator's initial unawareness of prospective registration requirements. No outcome measures, study design, or statistical analysis plan were modified following data collection.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Association Between Self-Efficacy and Academic Burnout

  Spearman rank-order correlation between self-efficacy scores (GSES-12) and academic burnout scores (MBI-SS) among sports science undergraduates. A negative correlation indicates higher self-efficacy is associated with lower academic burnout.

  Single time point (March to May 2025)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Odds of Moderate Academic Burnout Across Self-Efficacy Levels

  Single time point (March to May 2025)

• Predicted Probability of Moderate Academic Burnout by Self-Efficacy Stratum

  Single time point (March to May 2025)

Study Arms (1)

Sports Science Undergraduates

Junior-year sports science undergraduates (semesters 3-4) at a public university in Makassar, Indonesia, recruited via simple random sampling during March to May 2025. Participants completed two self-report questionnaires on a single occasion: the General Self-Efficacy Scale-12 (GSES-12) to measure self-efficacy, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) to measure academic burnout. No intervention was administered. This was a single-group cross-sectional observational study examining the association between self-efficacy and academic burnout.

Other: Self-Report Questionnaire Assessment

Interventions

Self-Report Questionnaire Assessment OTHER

Participants completed two validated self-report questionnaires on a single occasion in supervised classroom sessions. The General Self-Efficacy Scale-12 (GSES-12) was used to measure self-efficacy levels, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) was used to measure academic burnout. No therapeutic, pharmacological, or behavioral intervention was administered. Data collection was observational in nature, with no manipulation of variables or assignment of participants to treatment conditions.

Also known as: General Self-Efficacy Scale-12 (GSES-12), Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS)
