Özet: Introduction: Burnout is referred to as the disease of modern life. The current study was undertaken to observe Burnout among female academic staff at universities in Khartoum State. Materials and methods: The sampling frame for the study comprised of 1523 full-time female academic staff working at both public and private universities at Khartoum State. Personal Information Form and Maslach Burnout inventory (MBI) were used for data collection.

Absenteeism among female academic staff correlated positively with the burnout dimensions.
