In order to provide a better understanding and characterization of the nature of academic burnout in university students, a review of the concept, its evolution and extrapolation of the work context to the university academic context is performed. It is proposed its delimitation, differentiation and relationship with comorbid clinical conditions like depression and anxiety. Additionally, this paper reviews empirical research that establishes relationships of the academic burnout with the academic engagement, risk factors and protective, and its impact on mental health and academic performance of college students.

Palabras clave : academic burnout; academic engagement; risk factors and protective; university students; academic performance; mental health.
