ABSTRACT
A pilot study of the levels of stress among residents was conducted in three departments in a university hospital prior to initiating a programme in stress management for residents. The Beck Depression Inventory, which is a brief, standardized self-report measure of depression, was given to residents in anaesthesiology, paediatrics and psychiatry. Six additional questions were asked about the functioning of peers and services residents would like to have available. Of the 113 residents surveyed, 16% were experiencing a mild mood disturbance. The researchers feel this is probably under-reported. Residents felt that about 15% of their colleagues were emotionally impaired; 10% may have a drug and/or alcohol problem; 12% were having marital problems. Eighty per cent of all residents studied said that they would attend support groups if they existed. Approximately 60% thought coping skills/stress management seminars would be useful, and 30% of the paediatric and anaesthesiology residents (60% of the psychiatry residents) said they would use confidential individual psychotherapy if it were available.
