Objective To investigate Chinese psychiatrists' mental health. Methods Literatures published from January 1989 to March 31, 2013 were searched through Chinese network databases (CNKI, Weipu, Wanfang) and English network database (OVID). Factors of Symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90) were extracted and compared with Chinese norm. These were analyzed by Meta analysis method. Results Eleven articles were obtained and analyzed, including 725 psychiatrists. The research illustrated that the differences between psychiatrists and Chinese norm of somatization[WMD=0.19, 95%CI (0.05, 0.33), P=0.008], depression[WMD=0.25, 95%CI (0.06, 0.43), P=0.009], anxiety[WMD=0.28, 95%CI (0.09, 0.47), P=0.004], hostility[WMD=0.15, 95%CI (0.01, 0.30), P=0.03], and phobia[WMD=0.11, 95%CI (0.02, 0.20), P=0.02] were significant, while the other 4 factors were not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Psychiatrists' mental health is poor and intervention measures need to be adopted to improve psychiatrists' mental health.
