Objective This study aims to investigate the current status of burnout among anesthesi-ology residents,and to explore its influencing factors and potential interventions.Methods A total of 2 651 practicing anesthesiology residents from 218 hospitals nationwide were included in this study.Demographic characteristics,occupational features,and psychological resilience scores(Connor-Davidson resilience scale)were collected using a questionnaire distributed electronically.The Maslach burnout inventory-human service survey(MBI-HSS)was used to assess burnout.A comparison between groups with and without occu-pational burnout was conducted.Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for burnout among anesthesiology residents.Results Out of the expected 2 651 questionnaires,1 990 valid responses were received(response rate 77.7%).The prevalence of burnout among the residents was 53.4%(1 063/1 990).Compared with residents without occupational burnout,those with burnout had a signifi-cantly higher proportion of females,working in tertiary hospitals,unmarried individuals,frequency of en-countering challenging patients,participating in on-call duty,and research tasks,and had a significantly lon-ger weekly working hours(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that female(OR = 1.58,95%CI 1.28-1.97,P<0.01),longer working hours(OR = 1.62,95%CI 1.45-1.81,P<0.01),and higher frequency of encountering challenging patients(OR = 1.11,95%CI 1.11-1.40,P<0.01)were risk factors for occupational burnout.High levels of psychological resilience was protective factor against burnout(OR = 0.86,95%CI 0.84-0.88,P<0.01).Conclusion The occurrence of burnout among anesthesiology residents is high.It is crucial to focus on and design practical preventive measures to en-hance psychological resilience,ensuring healthy physical and mental development of the resident community.

This study aimed to explore the prevalence of burnout among anesthesiologists in Tibet and its associated factors. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Tibet, China, with an anonymous questionnaire. Social-demographic characteristics, work status, three dimensions of burnout assessed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 133 individuals from 17 hospitals completed the survey from March to June 2018.
