Abstract：Objective To investigate the work stressors and their influencing factors among resident physicians so as to provide references for their management and standardized training. Methods Self-designed demographic information questionnaire, Work Stressors Scale and Job Burnout Questionnaire were employed in a questionnaire survey among 951 resident physicians from tertiary hospitals of Beijing City from May to October, 2015. Results Among various dimensions of work stressors in the resident physicians, the average scores of work load (2.42±0.87), work risk (2.16±0.85) and professional work (2.04±0.74) were the highest, and they were considered as the main stressors. Work stressors were significantly different with respect to the resident physicians’ marriage, educational background, department, salary and years of service. Each dimension of total work stressors had a significantly positive correlation with emotional exhaustion and alienation (P<0.01), and a significantly negative correlation with personal accomplishment(P<0.01). Conclusions The hospital managers should take targeted measures to relieve the resident physicians’ work stressors and alleviate their job burnout so as to improve the quality of health service.
