Assessing Psychiatry Resident Well-being: A Narrative Review of Measurement Instruments.
Review in Academic psychiatry : the journal of the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training and the Association for Academic Psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis narrative review aimed to synthesize the instruments used to evaluate psychiatry resident well-being.
methodsA search was conducted across PubMed, ERIC, and PsycINFO on August 24, 2024. Studies were included if they involved psychiatry residents and reported outcomes utilizing either validated instruments or sufficient methodological detail on tools developed by the residency program. Domains of interest included mental health symptoms, stress, burnout, engagement, quality of life, social support, and behavioral risk factors.
resultsThirteen studies from six countries met inclusion criteria. Eight used at least one validated instrument, and five employed surveys developed by their residency programs. Sixteen validated tools were identified: the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD), Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), Multicultural Quality of Life Index (MQLI), Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL), Stephenson Multigroup Acculturation Scale, Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence. Internal consistency across instruments was generally strong (α ≥ 0.70). Surveys developed by residency programs often lacked psychometric reporting, limiting comparability.
conclusionsPsychiatry residency programs have access to a diverse set of validated instruments for assessing resident well-being. However, inconsistent usage, limited validation of locally developed tools, and lack of longitudinal assessments highlight the need for standardized frameworks to inform well-being assessment and institutional changes within psychiatry residency programs.
