The level of burnout has been found to be high in medical students, alongside maladaptive coping behaviours such as heightened alcohol and drug intake and mental health issues in the US, Europe and other developed countries. While burnout and resilience in healthcare have been researched in the West, there is a paucity of data in Asia pertaining to these factors. In this article, we review stressors in medicine, specifically during medical school training, the consequences of burnout on physicians' health and patient care, and the interventions that might expound resilience among students. Finally, we present potential solutions within an Asian context.
在美国、欧洲和其他发达国家,医学生的职业倦怠程度较高,同时还存在适应不良的应对行为,如增加酒精和药物摄入量以及心理健康问题。虽然西方已经对医疗保健领域的职业倦怠和恢复力进行了研究,但亚洲在这些方面的数据却很匮乏。在本文中,我们回顾了医学领域的压力源,特别是医学院校培训期间的压力源、职业倦怠对医生健康和患者护理的影响,以及可能增强学生恢复力的干预措施。最后,我们提出了在亚洲背景下的潜在解决方案。
