Burnout refers to a process of chronic response to stress in life. For students, burnout can be caused by the stress related to their study. There are many factors that contribute to burnout in different student populations. The objective of this paper is to review the studies that investigated the factors contributing to burnout in various student populations. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we selected 38 recent studies, published between 2019 and 2024. The findings of this review outline the study design, burnout questionnaire, factors investigated, and analysis methods employed in the literature. We further discuss the main factors contributing to student burnout and propose ways to mitigate this issue.
