Academic burnout merupakan kondisi kelelahan akademik yang banyak dialami mahasiswa, terutama pada tahap penyusunan skripsi, akibat tuntutan akademik yang berlangsung secara terus-menerus. salah satu faktor yang diduga berperan dalam menurunkan kecenderungan academic burnout adalah self regulation, yaitu kemampuan individu dalam mengatur pikiran, emosi, dan perilaku untuk mencapai tujuan. penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara self regulation dengan academic burnout pada mahasiswa yang sedang menyusun skripsi di universitas syiah kuala. penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif korelasional dengan teknik proportionate stratified random sampling. sampel pada penelitian ini adalah 348 mahasiswa universitas syiah kuala yang sedang menyusun skripsi. instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah short self regulation questionnaire (ssrq) yang dikembangkan oleh neal dan carey 2005 serta burnout assessment tool for students (bat-s) yang dikembangkan oleh carmona-halty et al 2024. uji hipotesis menggunakan korelasi pearson product moment menunjukkan adanya hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara self regulation dengan academic burnout dengan nilai signifikansi p< 0,001 (p < 0,05) dan koefisien korelasi r = -0,276. berdasarkan hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara self regulation dengan academic burnout pada mahasiswa yang sedang menyusun skripsi di universitas syiah kuala, di mana semakin tinggi self regulation, maka semakin rendah academic burnout, demikian pula sebaliknya.

Academic burnout is a condition of academic exhaustion commonly experienced by university students, particularly during the thesis-writing stage, as a result of continuous academic demands. One factor that is believed to reduce the tendency toward academic burnout is self-regulation, which refers to an individual's ability to regulate thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to achieve goals. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-regulation and academic burnout among undergraduate students who were writing their thesis at Universitas Syiah Kuala. This study employed a quantitative correlational design using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The sample consisted of 348 undergraduate students at Universitas Syiah Kuala who were in the process of writing their thesis. The research instruments used were the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ) developed by Neal and Carey (2005) and the Burnout Assessment Tool for Students (BAT-S) developed by Carmona-Halty et al. (2024). Hypothesis testing was conducted using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation, which revealed a significant negative relationship between self-regulation and academic burnout, with a significance value of p < .001 (p < .05) and a correlation coefficient of r = −0.276. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that there is a significant negative relationship between self-regulation and academic burnout among undergraduate students who are writing their thesis at Universitas Syiah Kuala. In other words, the higher the level of self-regulation, the lower the level of academic burnout, and vice versa.
