Academic burnout is a psychological condition commonly experienced by university students due to prolonged academic demands. The factors that influence this condition are emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced academic efficacy. This condition affects performance, leading to a lack of satisfaction in the learning process. Previous research shows that self-compassion plays an important role in reducing academic burnout among students. Self Compassion is the attitude of accepting and caring for one's own shortcomings, failures, and suffering, without avoiding those experiences. Self-Compassion consists of three main components self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. However, previous research is still limited in explaining the role of self-compassion as a factor influencing academic burnout. Thus, by using an experimental method with two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group, this study aims to see the extent of the influence of self-compassion on academic burnout. This study involved 30 participants consisting of undergraduate students. All participants were ensured to meet the criteria for experiencing academic burnout thru a screening process at the initial stage before the implementation of the research. Data collection was conducted using the Academic Burnout Scale (ACS) and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). Additionally, the materials for the self-compassion intervention were developed based on the components found in the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test. The research results show a significant impact of the self-compassion intervention on the reduction of academic burnout in the experimental group (EG). This was significantly evidenced by a t-value of t(14) = 3.16 and a significance value of p = 0.007 (p > 0.05), with an effect size based on Cohen’s d of 0.817.
