RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the current status of job burnout among trainees in the standardized residency training of pediatrics (short for "pediatric residents") in the hope of identifying the problems involved, and proposing corresponding countermeasures and suggestions based on these current situations and problems.Methods:This study conducted a questionnaire survey among the pediatric residents who received the standardized residency training in The Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The questionnaire consisted of two parts: general information survey and Maslach job burnout survey. The generated data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 26.0. Chi-square test was used to determine the equilibrium of the groupings for the basic situation of the data. If the normal distribution of the data in two groups was satisfactory, the t-test was used for inter-group comparison; otherwise, the Kruskal-Wallis H test was employed. For more than two groups, if the data met the normal distribution and the variance was homogeneous, one-way analysis of variance was used for inter-group comparison; otherwise, the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used. Multiple linear regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis. Results:A total of 138 pediatric residents participated in this survey. The detection rate of job burnout was 65.2% (90/138), of which 45 (32.6%), 29 (21.0%) and 16 (11.6%) were mild, moderate and severe, respectively. In univariate analysis, there was a statistically significant difference in job burnout among pediatric residents in different grades ( H=7.22, P=0.027), and the low achievement score (27.90±8.48) of the first-year pediatric residents was higher than that of the second-year pediatric residents (23.54±6.79), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.25, P=0.025). Multiple linear regression analysis regression model showed no statistically significant difference. Conclusion:The level of job burnout among pediatric residents is high, and relevant departments should pay attention to the problem of job burnout of the pediatric residents, and take various measures to prevent the occurrence of job burnout.
