Stress and burnout are serious and growing threats to the mental health of medical trainees. Recent estimates of burnout in medical students and residents are quite high, with more than half displaying signs of stress, anxiety and depression. The COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened the state of poor mental health in these student populations. It is the position of LSU Health Shreveport Office of Institutional Wellness that a critical need exists for academic institutions to evaluate challenges to self-care and wellbeing in medical trainees. Such evaluations may pave the way for the development of effective institutional wellness initiatives and strategies, with the goal of reducing barriers to self-care to promote better mental and physical health, and facilitate improved quality of life in medical students and residents.
压力和职业倦怠对医学实习生的心理健康构成了严重且日益增长的威胁。最近对医学生和住院医师职业倦怠的估计相当高，超过一半的人表现出压力、焦虑和抑郁的迹象。新冠疫情只会加剧这些学生群体心理健康不佳的状况。路易斯安那州立大学什里夫波特分校机构健康办公室认为，学术机构迫切需要评估医学实习生在自我保健和幸福方面面临的挑战。此类评估可能为制定有效的机构健康倡议和策略铺平道路，目标是减少自我保健的障碍，以促进更好的身心健康，并改善医学生和住院医师的生活质量。
