Study of surgical residents' stressors and job burnout / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the current situation of stressors and job burnout among surgical residents and to explore the influencing factors,so as to provide evidences for reducing stress and relieving job burnout.Methods The stressor scale and job burnout scale were used to investigate the stress and burnout of 145 residents who attended the standardized training of surgical residents in Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University from September 2016 to June 2019,to understand the existence of stress and job burnout in surgical residents,and analyze the linear correlation between each dimension of stressors and each dimension of burnout.There were 132 males and 13 females,who were (26.62 ± 1.45) years old,ranged from 22 to 30 years.SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as Mean ± SD Counting data were expressed by frequency and constituent ratio.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the linear correlation between each dimension of stressors and each dimension of job burnout.Results The total score of surgical resident stress was 2.51 ±0.57.The scores of social factors and workload were higher in each dimension 3.02 ± 0.58 and 3.00 ± 0.62,respectively.The burnout survey showed that 7 residents (4.8％) had severe burnout.In the dimension of emotional exhaustion,there were 14 residents with severe burnout.In the dimension of cynicism,there were 21 residents (14.5％) had severe burnout.In the dimension of reduced personal accomplishment,there were 19 residents (13.1％) of mild burnout and 17 residents (11.7％) of severe burnout.Further analysis of the linear correlation between each dimension of stressors and each dimension of burnout showed that most of them were positively linear correlated.In particular,emotional exhaustion and workload (r =0.411,P ＜ 0.05),reduced personal accomplishment and social factors (r =0.429,P ＜ 0.05) had a relatively large correlation coefficient.Conclusions The stress and burnout of surgical residents were at a high level.In order to reduce the stress and relieve the burnout,it is necessary to strengthen the residents' self-management and improve the social support system.
