Rationale And Objectives:
This study aimed to explore the modulating role of work environment in the association of work stress with burnout and depression during standardized residency training (SRT) in China.
Study Design:
Nationwide cross-sectional survey.
Method:
A nationwide cross-sectional online survey was conducted among radiology residents in China from December 2020 to April 2021. Participants self-assessed work stress, burnout, depressive symptoms, and work environment satisfaction. Multiple linear regression was used to examine whether the work environment modulated the associations between work stress and burnout and depression.
Results:
Among 3666 radiology residents surveyed, the average age was 28 years, with 58% identifying as female. Approximately 25.8% reported experiencing burnout, while 24.4% indicated symptoms of depression. Work environment significantly modulated the association between work stress and burnout symptoms (β = -0.23, p = 0.004), but did not significantly moderate the association between work stress and depressive symptoms (β = -0.03, p = 0.423).
Conclusion:
This study found that the work environment significantly moderated the positive association between work stress and burnout among radiology residents, but not the association between work stress and depressive symptoms. A work environment characterized by a stronger sense of safety and a better workplace atmosphere may improve residents' satisfaction with the work environment, thereby enhancing work efficiency and well-being.
