Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if there are statistically
significant relationships between academic advisors’ demographic characteristics,
advising-related variables, burnout, and risk for mental health disorders, such as
generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or major depressive disorder (MDD). In
February 2023, we conducted a national survey of academic advisors (n = 1,598).
Advisors with higher levels of burnout had increased odds of experiencing MDD
and GAD symptoms. Resilience was significantly correlated with lower MDD,
GAD, and burnout levels.
