Burnout, depression, and suicidal ideation among Chinese hospital physicians: prevalence and the distinct roles of research and teaching pressure

Background

Physician mental health is a global concern, but comprehensive data from China, the home to one of the world's largest medical workforces, remains limited. We assessed the prevalence of burnout, depression, and suicidal ideation among Chinese hospital physicians and examined their comorbidity patterns, instrument concordance, and associated occupational factors.
