القدرة التنبؤية لقلق البطالة في الإجهاد النفسي لدى الطلبة المتوقع تخرجهم في جامعة الخليل
The study aimed to investigate the predictive ability of unemployment anxiety on psychological burnout among the expected graduates of Hebron University students, using the descriptive correlational approach and a stratified random sample consisting of 425 male and female students. The study utilized an unemployment anxiety scale and a psychological burnout scale, which were applied during the summer semester of the 2022 academic year. The results indicated no statistically significant differences at the α≤.05 level in the mean unemployment anxiety scores among the expected graduates of Hebron University students, attributed to gender or college type. However, there are significant differences in the cumulative grade point average (GPA) in favor of those who had an excellent or very good cumulative GPA. The results also revealed statistically significant differences at the α≤.05 level in the mean psychological burnout scores among the expected graduates of Hebron University students, attributed to gender in favor of females, and the cumulative GPA in favor of students who had a very good or good cumulative GPA. However, there were no differences based on college type. The results also showed a significant positive correlation at the α≤.05 level between unemployment anxiety and psychological burnout among the expected graduates of Hebron University students. Furthermore, the results indicated that psychological burnout can be predicted through unemployment anxiety. The overall score for unemployment anxiety was moderate, with an average of 2.76 and a percentage of 55.3%. Similarly, the overall score for psychological burnout was moderate, with an average of 2.82 and a percentage of 56.5%. The study recommended raising expected graduates' awareness on dealing with unemployment anxiety and psychological burnout through seeking employment and training opportunities, planning their professional future, setting realistic goals and plans, enhancing skills and social networks, seeking ways to reduce stress and pressure, and seeking psychological counseling if needed.
