Abstract: Objective To investigate the current status of physician burnout and influencing factors of residents undergoing standardized training. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among all residents-in-training in 17 affiliated hospitals and teaching hospitals of a university by using basic information form and the Chinese version of Maslach Burnout inventory-general survey in April 2020. The scores of each dimension of burnout among residents-in-training of different categories and training specialties were compared, and the relevant influencing factors were analyzed by binary logistic regression. Results A total of 3 531 valid questionnaires were received. The average scores of three dimensions of burnout, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment were (10.24±6.82), (5.60±4.84), and (13.36±8.12), respectively. The overall detection rate of burnout among residents-in-training was 53.2% (1 878/3 531). Using resident undergoing standardized training as a reference point, the risk of burnout was higher in postgraduates in clinical specialties (OR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.14~1.71); with greater workload (OR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.19~1.34); and when the impact of the epidemic was greater (OR=1.24, 95%CI: 1.14~1.34); the above differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions There were differences in burnout among different types of residents undergoing standardized training, and the risk of burnout is higher among postgraduates in clinical specialties and residents in general practice, obstetrics and gynecology, etc. Educational management departments should increase their attention, strengthen humanistic care, and reduce burnout through multiple approaches.
