Abstract

Objective: To comment upon the evidence-base regarding psychiatrist and trainee burnout and provide recommendations on management. 

Conclusions: Burnout has been conceptualised as a specific stress-related response, primarily related to work. There is a high prevalence of burnout amongst both trainees and psychiatrists internationally, with substantial consequences for personal and family wellbeing, organisational efficiency and patient care. We summarise the evidence on organisational and individual approaches to addressing burnout.
