Mental health of postgraduate trainees in primary care: a cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study suggest that GP trainees considerably suffer from stress. Some GP trainees were even affected by depression or burnout. To detect and support colleagues at risk, trainees should be supported by early preventive measures such as anti-stress or resilience trainings and mentoring during their training. Prospective longitudinal studies are needed to understand the character and the course of the stress burden among GP trainees. PMID: 32593291 [PubMed - in process]
