ObjectiveTo study whether emotional management can alleviate the occupational burnout of the health care providers. MethodsFrom May 1st 2015 to February 29th 2016, we sampled the medical workers of a class-3 grade-A hospital randomly, and performed the emotional management through self-emotion management and professionals-conducted emotion-management. The discrepancies before and after intervention were studied using Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS). ResultsIn total, 100 medical workers were enrolled in our study, of which there were 27 males and 73 females. There were 11 doctors and 89 nurses. The average age was (34.5±5.6) years. According to the MBI-GS survey, there were 69 medical workers suffering from occupational burnout. There were significant statistical differences before and after intervention in the MBI-GS scores in four aspects including emotion exhaustion, work status, sense of achievement and the total scores (P＜0.05). ConclusionThe medical workers can alleviate the occupational burnout under the self-management or professionals-conducted management of emotion.
