In 2023, students felt less emotionally drained — but by 2024, they were burned out again, even more than before.
Scientific Claim
Among Ukrainian female university students, burnout levels were significantly higher in 2024 than in 2023, reversing a temporary decline observed between 2022 and 2023.
