Perceptions of the Learning Environment on the Relationship Between Stress and Burnout for Residents in an ACGME-I Accredited National Psychiatry Residency Program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High rates of burnout have been reported in physicians in training, with contributing factors including stress, lack of coping skills, and attributes of the learning environment. The interrelationships among these factors and how they affect versus mitigate burnout in an international cohort of residents have not been studied.

Objective

We examined the interrelationships between stress, perceptions of the learning environment, and coping strategies used in a cohort of psychiatry residents in Singapore, using burnout as the dependent variable. We hypothesized that perceptions of the learning environment and coping strategies influence the relationship between residency-related stress and burnout in psychiatry residents.
