Abstract:
Introduction:Due to COVID-19 pandemic, it became imperative for the education sector to shift to online
curriculum and eventually hybrid education. However, this policy posed challenges to educators and
students, such as increased workload, prolonged screen time, and burnout. This study determined the
association of online screen media exposure and burnout among adolescent senior high school students
enrolled in different online curricula in Metro Manila.
Methods:This analytic cross-sectional study identified adolescent senior high school students in Metro Manila who were recruited via non-probability convenience sampling. Online screen media exposure was assessed based on the cut off value of four (4) or more hours of device usage related to online schooling, and participants answered the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) to ascertain presence or absence of said condition. Data analysis included cross-tabulation for prevalence rate ratio (PRR), and Chi-square test for statistical significance.
Results:Of the 117 respondents, most had significant online screen media exposure (75.21%). For the CBI, 51 study subjects garnered a score of 50 and above, suggesting that 43.59% of the adolescents might be suffering from burnout. In addition, PRR was calculated to be 3.9 (p-value of .002).
Conclusion:Among adolescent senior high school students with significant online screen media exposure of four hours or more, there was 3.9 higher risk of exhibiting burnout symptoms, and this was statistically significant. - Full text:UERM Association of online screen.pdf
