Abstract
This phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of Bachelor of Physical Education (BPED) students facing burnout. Burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, reduced motivation, and inefficiency, is increasingly observed among students due to academic and personal pressures. The study aimed to understand how burnout manifests in BPED students and how they cope with it. Using a qualitative design, ten purposively selected students participated in in-depth interviews. Colaizzi’s method was applied to analyze the data, revealing seven key themes: overloaded activities, financial problems, coping mechanisms, time management, rest, support systems, and motivation. Students reported stress from academic demands, lack of financial support, and difficulty maintaining balance. However, strong social support, motivation, and rest were found to mitigate burnout. These insights emphasize the need for educational institutions to implement wellness programs, financial aid, and support systems. The study contributes to student mental health research by offering targeted strategies to address burnout in higher education.
