Abstract
ParticipantsCompetent resident doctor were expected to help the patients, advance medical knowledge, and promote public health. The time and effort necessary for residents to devote to standarized training is extensive. Anxiety and depression can negatively affect professional development and work efficacy. The study aimed to assess the psychosocial effects of the hospital reappraisal during the post-pandemic era of COVID-19 and analyze potential risk factors leading to their symptoms of anxiety and depression.MethodIn March 2021, the “Questionnaire Star” electronic questionnaire system was used to collect data. A total of 96 resident doctors from the affiliated hospital of the medical school of Ningbo University were invited to complete the questionnaires.ResultsAccording to our study, the prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and depression in the resident doctors in the institution was 61.5 and 59.4%, respectively. The residents who were worried about clinical skills tend to have anxiety symptoms under online education (OR = 3.436, 95%CI: 1.122–10.526). Compared with participants who were assigned by other hospitals, social trainees (OR: 7.579, 95%CI: 1.747–32.885), and full-time masters (OR: 5.448, 95% CI: 1.586–18.722) were more likely to have anxiety symptoms. Participants without a labor contract (OR = 3.257, 95% CI: 1.052–10.101) had a high risk of depression symptoms. Participants who spent more time learning the details prepared for the tertiary hospital reappraisal were significantly more likely to develop anxiety and depressive symptoms.ConclusionThis study suggested that the tertiary hospital reappraisal program has an impact on the high incidence of anxiety and depression of the young resident doctors during the post-pandemic era of the COVID-19 in Ningbo.

The content of the questionnaire included general information, problems related to the standardized training, the impact of the tertiary hospital reappraisal and COVID-19 on resident doctors, the mental health of them and so on
Anxiety and depression at work will affect their daily life, and reduce work efficiency and even cause medical accidents [26]. This cross-sectional psychological survey suggested that the tertiary hospital reappraisal program has an impact on the high incidence of anxiety and depression of the young resident doctors during the post-pandemic era of the COVID19 in Ningbo
Summary
Resident doctors are an integral part of clinical teams and are vital to patient care in various clinical settings. Residents progress annually with the advancement of their roles within patient-care teams and participation in increasingly complicated operative cases. These training years are characterized by long work hours and little time for family [1]. Resident doctors report the highest rate of having a formally diagnosed mental health condition. This may be because they are in the vulnerable age group when psychiatric disorders start [5]. Studies have consistently shown high levels of anxiety amongst resident physicians [7] To deal with this situation, more measures have been made on a large scale to improve doctors’ mental health and fitness [8]
