Abstract :Objective: The aim of the study is to compare job stress, burnout and anger management in surgical (in the operating room) and internal medicine residencies, and also to evaluate whether there is a relationship between burnout, anger management and job stress. Materials and Methods: Following ethics committee approval, surgical and internal medicine residencies were asked to fill out an online survey regarding job stress, Copenhagen burnout scale, and anger management. Results: The burnout level according to the cutoff value for a total of 139 residencies (surgery, n=74 and internal medicine, n=65) was 73%, and also higher prevalence was observed in surgical residencies than in internal medicine residencies (77% and 68%, p=0.01). It was determined that total and work-related burnout, trait anger and job stress scales were significantly higher in the surgical group. When burnout was evaluated in all residencies, it showed a strong correlation with the job stress scale and a moderate correlation with anger. The job stress scale also showed moderate correlation with anger. Job stress (p=0.019) and personal burnout (p=0.002) were found to be higher in women, especially surgical residencies, than in men. Conclusion: In this study showed that burnout, job stress, and trait anger were higher in surgical residencies (in the operating room) than in internal medicine residencies, and burnout had a strong correlation with job stress and a moderate correlation with anger.
