The present study aimed to understand the current status of job burnout among psychiatric residents in standardized training, and to analyze the impact of demographic factors and training satisfaction on vocational burnout of psychiatric standardized training students. A total of 228 residents in standardized training (including 76 in psychiatry, 83 in physician, and 69 in surgery) were interviewed. The revised MBI?GS was used to evaluate the job burnout in all participants. Moreover, the satisfaction of standardized training was also assessed in psychiatric residents. Our results showed that psychiatric residents had more serious job burnout than physician or surgical residents. The level of job burnout was significant different among genders, grades, and types of residents. It was significantly correlated with the four dimensions in the satisfaction of standardized training (training effect, system design, process management and guarantee mechanism). Our present study suggested that the multi?pronged approach from three levels: individual students, training bases, and government departments, need to be adopted together in order to prevent and alleviate the job burnout of psychiatric residents.
