Medicine in most parts of the world is becoming a stressful profession. Psychiatrists represent a high-risk group among doctors for experiencing burnout, alcohol and drug use, posing suicide risk and other forms of work-related stress. There are reports that entrants in the profession of psychiatrists are decreasing globally. Conceptual issues related to burnout are explored and factors contributing to burnout in psychiatrists are reviewed. Methodologically sound studies are needed to help us understand positive aspects of psychiatry as a profession and the environment psychiatrists work in. Effective treatment programmes for burnout are also needed not only to reduce suffering but also to retain psychiatrists in the profession.
在世界上大多数地区，医学正成为一个充满压力的职业。精神科医生是医生中经历倦怠、酗酒和吸毒、自杀风险以及其他形式与工作相关的压力较高的群体之一。有报道称，全球从事精神科医生职业的人数正在减少。本文探讨了与倦怠相关的概念问题，并回顾了导致精神科医生倦怠的因素。需要进行方法合理的研究，以帮助我们了解精神医学作为一门专业以及精神科医生工作环境的积极方面。不仅需要有效的倦怠治疗方案来减轻痛苦，还需要保留精神科医生在该行业。
