Review and Prospect of Mindfulness Training for Intervention of Academic Burnout

Academic burnout involves the negative emotions of exhaustion and evasion caused by excessive academic load, low sense of accomplishment, and cynicism for studies. It has gradually become a psychological crisis for many contemporary students. Purpose: This paper attempts to summarize the research results of mindfulness training for intervention of academic burnout and propose prospects for future related research. Methods: Review the past experimental studies on mindfulness intervention in academic burnout, summarize the methods used in previous studies, and compare the results obtained. Conclusion: Even if mindfulness training has a certain intervention effect on academic burnout, there are still areas for improvement in future research: (1) The research methods are insufficient. Specifically, the RCT design is not rigorous, the indicators of intervention effect are relatively simple, and the number of longitudinal studies is not enough. (2) Further research is required to explore effective academic burnout interventions for different student groups.
