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.
