Abstract：
Academic burnout is widespread in higher education, affecting academic achievements, professional development, and physical and mental health. Previous related research lacks qualitative studies on graduate nursing students.
This study aims to provide valuable information to relevant authorities and stakeholders by identifying the key experiences associated with academic burnout in graduate nursing students.
An exploratory qualitative research design.
This research was carried out at two medical universities located in the southern region of China.
Nineteen enrolled graduate nursing students.
Data collection spanned from December 2023 to January 2024. After obtaining informed consent from the participants, the researchers conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Data processing and analysis were based on Giorgi\'s phenomenological method. The reporting of this study strictly adhered to the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR).
Nineteen participants completed the interviews, ranging in age from 22 to 42 years and including sixteen females and three males. \"Wheels stuck in mud\" was the core construct that explained graduate nursing students\' academic burnout. Analyses revealed four themes: invisible hand, a battle with myself, two choices, find my way.
The academic burnout of nursing graduate students is perceived as a psychological dilemma akin to being \"wheels stuck in mud.\" It is driven by an invisible force composed of multiple components, leading to intense internal struggles for individuals. Individuals exhibit two distinct trends in their academic performance: either \"remaining detached and indifferent to academics\" or \"overcommitting and self-exploiting.\" It is encouraged to conduct intervention using an integrative strategy based on acceptance and commitment therapy, self-disclosure, and mindfulness.

摘要：
背景：学业倦怠在高等教育中普遍存在，影响学术成就，专业发展,以及身心健康。以往的相关研究缺乏对护理研究生的定性研究。
目的：本研究旨在通过确定护理研究生与学业倦怠相关的关键经历，为相关当局和利益相关者提供有价值的信息。
方法：探索性定性研究设计。
方法：这项研究是在位于中国南部地区的两所医科大学进行的。
方法：招收19名护理研究生。
方法：数据收集从2023年12月到2024年1月。在获得参与者的知情同意后，研究人员进行了深入的研究，半结构化面试。数据处理和分析基于Giorgi的现象学方法。本研究的报告严格遵守定性研究报告标准（SRQR）。
结果：19名参与者完成了访谈，年龄在22至42岁之间，包括16名女性和3名男性。“车轮陷入泥泞”是解释研究生护理专业学生学术倦怠的核心结构。分析揭示了四个主题：看不见的手，与自己的战斗，两个选择,找到我的路.
结论：护理研究生的学业倦怠被认为是一种心理困境，类似于陷入泥泞的车轮。\"它是由多个组成部分组成的无形力驱动的，导致个人内部激烈的斗争。个人在学业成绩上表现出两种不同的趋势：“对学者保持超然和冷漠”或“过度投入和自我剥削”。“鼓励使用基于接受和承诺疗法的综合策略进行干预，自我披露,和正念。
