Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the level of academic burnout and various coping mechanisms among Filipino college students. A total of 200 Filipino college students from Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan participated in a survey that measured coping mechanisms (Brief-COPE) and burnout (Breso’s Academic Burnout Questionnaire). The study employed descriptive analyses to investigate the respondents’ burnout levels and coping mechanisms when faced with post-pandemic stressful circumstances. Pearson correlation analysis evaluated the connections between coping strategies and burnout. The research findings suggest a positive and statistically significant correlation between the degree of burnout and coping strategies. It implies the tendency for students to use coping mechanisms as their levels of burnout rise. The study suggests numerous strategies to enhance students’ academic performance and well-being. Educational institutions are urged to treat student well-being holistically, recognizing the complexity of these intricate links and adding to future studies to deepen our understanding of them.
