Academic burnout merupakan kondisi kelelahan fisik dan emosional yang muncul akibat tekanan akademik yang berkepanjangan. Mahasiswa yang mengalami academic burnout biasanya menunjukkan gejala berupa kelelahan emosional, kehilangan motivasi belajar, jarak mental terhadap studi, serta penurunan kemampuan kognitif. Salah satu faktor yang dapat memengaruhi munculnya academic burnout adalah problematic internet use, yaitu penggunaan internet secara berlebihan dan tidak terkontrol yang berdampak negatif terhadap fungsi akademik maupun kesejahteraan psikologis mahasiswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara problematic internet use dengan academic burnout pada mahasiswa yang sedang menyusun skripsi di Universitas Syiah Kuala. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan korelasional. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 332 responden dipilih menggunakan teknik stratified proportionate random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan dua instrumen, yaitu Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 (GPIUS 2) dan Burnout Assessment Tool for Students (BAT-S). Analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson Product Moment dengan bantuan Jefferey’s Amazing Statistics Program (JASP) 0.19.3.0 version. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif dan signifikan antara problematic internet use dan academic burnout (r = 0,437; p< 0,05). Artinya, semakin tinggi tingkat problematic internet use maka semakin tinggi pula tingkat academic burnout yang dialami mahasiswa yang sedang menyusun skripsi di Universitas Syiah Kuala.

Academic burnout is a condition of physical and emotional exhaustion that arises from prolonged academic pressure. Students who experience academic burnout often exhibit symptoms such as emotional exhaustion, reduced motivation to study, mental distance from their studies, and diminished cognitive abilities. One factor that can contribute to academic burnout is problematic internet use, which is excessive, uncontrolled use of the internet that negatively impacts students' academic functioning and psychological well-being. This study aims to determine the relationship between problematic internet use and academic burnout among students writing their theses at Syiah Kuala University. This study uses a quantitative, correlational method. A sample of 332 respondents was selected using stratified proportionate random sampling. Data were collected using two instruments, namely the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 (GPIUS 2) and the Burnout Assessment Tool for Students (BAT-S). Data analysis used the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test with the help of Jefferey's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP) 0.19.3.0 version. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between problematic internet use and academic burnout (r = 0.437; p< 0.05). The higher the level of problematic internet use, the greater academic burnout among students writing their theses at Syiah Kuala University.
