Stress and burnout are major issues affecting medical trainees, especially psychiatry trainees, throughout the world. Stress and burnout were studied using an online survey among psychiatry trainees of the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) which is one of the oldest and largest training centers in India. Postgraduate training in academic institutions like NIMHANS, while offering excellent teaching experience, may impact the mental and physical health of trainees due to complex clinical challenges and academic pressure. Measures need to be taken to enhance trainee well-being by ensuring support from colleagues and seniors, allowing for an adequate work-life balance, introducing departmental level committees to address grievances and providing therapy and mentorship. Providing safe and non-stigmatizing spaces to seek help in workplace promotes whole-person growth and well being.
压力和职业倦怠是影响全球医学实习生，尤其是精神病学实习生的主要问题。我们通过在线调查对印度最古老、最大的培训中心之一——国家心理健康和神经科学研究所（NIMHANS）的精神病学实习生的压力和职业倦怠情况进行了研究。在NIMHANS这样的学术机构中进行研究生培训，虽然能提供出色的教学体验，但由于复杂的临床挑战和学术压力，可能会影响实习生的身心健康。需要采取措施，通过确保同事和上级的支持、实现适当的工作与生活平衡、设立部门层面的委员会来处理申诉以及提供治疗和指导，来提高实习生的幸福感。在工作场所提供安全且无污名化的求助空间，可促进实习生的全面成长和幸福感。
