Stress, student burnout and study engagement – a cross-sectional comparison of university students of different academic subjects

Stress and burnout seem to be a problem in all students, especially among students in informatics and engineering. The previous focus on medical students concerning study demands does not seem justified according to our results. Fostering a supportive environment is key for study engagement, health and well-being of students. The inclusion of further individual factors should be a future concern in order to find and promote strategies for a healthy education system.
