Abstract: Objective To study the effect of Balint group training on reducing burnout among plastic and cosmetic surgery nurses. Methods Eighty plastic and cosmetic surgery nurses were recruited in a Balint group training programme. The nurses were assessed before and after the training using the self-rating depression scale (SDS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and the Maslach burnout inventory-human services survey (MBI-HSS). Results Compared with the pre-training period, the total scores of SDS and SAS decreased and the total score of MBI-HSS increased after the training, all statistically different (P<0.05). Conclusion The Balint group can effectively reduce the burnout of plastic and cosmetic surgery nurses, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
