TY - JOUR TI - School Burnout and Depression Symptoms of Polish High School Graduates in the Context of COVID-19 Pandemic AU - Kossewska, Joanna AU - Tomaszek, Katarzyna AU - Macałka, Emilia AU - Początek, Gabriela TI - School Burnout and Depression Symptoms of Polish High School Graduates in the Context of COVID-19 Pandemic AB - High school graduates usually suffer from stress one month before the final exams. The research’s aim was to compare the depression and burnout symptoms measured in April 2019 (before the pandemic) and in April 2020 (during the pandemic) in the Polish high school students. The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic affected adolescent girls more than boys, leading to higher rates of depression, student burnout, and imbalanced time perspective. Females perceived lower family acceptance than boys. Males were less depressed and more burned out during the pandemic than before, while girls not only were more burned out but were also more depressed, were imbalanced in their time perspective, and perceived lower family acceptance during the COVID-19 pandemic than before the outbreak.
