    El agotamiento emocional académicoes la primera etapa del síndrome de burnout académico, y es necesario evaluarlo e intervenir temprano ya que las consecuencias son significativas para las personas. El objetivo de esta investigación es realizar un análisis psicométrico de la Escala de Cansancio Emocional (ECE) para evaluar su estructura interna, invariancia de medida y confiabilidad de consistencia interna, en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios ecuatorianos en el contexto de la pandemia COVID-19. Participaron 453 estudiantes universitarios de Ecuador (76.21% mujeres) de entre 17 y 35 años (M=22.76 años). Los resultados muestran que la estructura unidimensional tiene soporte estadístico, es invariante en cuanto al sexo y muestra una adecuada confiabilidad de consistencia interna. Se concluye que la ECE tiene propiedades psicométricas adecuadas que permiten su uso en estudiantes universitarios ecuatorianos

Os resultados mostram que a estrutura unidimensional possui suporte estatístico, é invariável em relação ao sexo e apresenta adequada confiabilidade de consistência interna.

    Academic emotional exhaustion is the first stage of academic burnout syndrome, and it is necessary to evaluate it and intervene early since the consequences are significant for people. The objective of this research is to perform a psychometric analysis of the Emotional Exhaustion Scale (Escalade Cansancio Emocional, ECE) to evaluate its internal structure, measurement invariance, and internal consistency reliability, in a sample of Ecuadorian college students in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Four hundred and fifty-three college students from Ecuador participated (76.21% women) between the ages of 17 and 35 (M=22.76 years). Results show that the one-dimensional structure has statistical support, is invariant concerning sex, and shows adequate internal consistency reliability. It is concluded that the ECE has adequate psychometric properties that allow its use in Ecuadorian college students.
