There were significant differences in the dimensions of job burnout among psychiatric nurses with different titles (P< 0.05), There were significant differences in emotional exhaustion (F=8.417, P=0.000) and depersonalization level (F=7.918, P=0.000) between psychiatric nurses with different frequency of nurse-patient conflict .There were significant differences in affective exhaustion (F=6.426, P=0.002) and personal accomplishment (F=3.444, P=0.032) between psychiatric nurses with different monthly income levels. Psychiatric nurses'age, working years, psychological distress, cognitive reappraisal, inhibition of expression were associated with job burnout(r=0.075～0.570).Regression analysis revealed that the factors impacting emotion exhaustion (R2=0.374, F=81.627, P=0.000) and depersonalization (R2=0.240, F=65.014, P=0.000) were psychological distress, inhibition of expression, cognitive reappraisal, conflict between nurses and patients. The factors impacting diminished personal accomplishment (R2=0.199, F=68.332, P=0.000) were psychological distress, cognitive reappraisal and age. Conclusions The work fatigue of psychiatric nurses was at the moderate level.Emotional regulation and psychological distress were the influencing factors of job burnout .Nursing administrators in psychiatric department should pay attention to the improvement of nurses' sense of burnout, improve the ability of nurses' emotional management, cultivate positive mood and behavior pattern, reduce anxiety and depression and so on, so as to effectively improve the mental health level of nurses in psychiatric department.
