    ObjectiveTo estimate the prevalence of burnout and psychological distress among trainee General Practitioners of two training placements and its relationship with the year of residence, lifestyle and working conditions.DesignCross-sectional study.LocationPrimary Care.ParticipantsOn-site surveys for all trainees of two training placements (n = 278), including all trainees of the sample. The response percentage is 76.9%.Main MeasurementsPrevalence of burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale and prevalence of psychological distress using the General Health Questionnaire-12 scale (GHQ-12). Also variables on lifestyles, labor organization and drug use.Outcomes72% of participants are women. The prevalence of burnout is 33.8% (CI 95% 27.0-40.6), being 25.6% (CI 95% 19.5-31.7) emotional exhaustion, 37.9% (CI 95% 31.0-44.7)depersonalization and 52.9% (CI 95% 45.9-59.9) the low personal accomplishment. Prevalence increases significantly in all dimensions after the second year of training, except in personal accomplishment. The prevalence of emotional distress is 40.4% (CI 95% 33.5-47.3), without significant differences according to year of training. In the group of trainees with psychological distress, 50.0% also have burnout, while this percentage is 22.1% among those who do not present psychological distress.ConclusionsThe prevalence of emotional distress and burnout (especially in low personal accomplishment) is high in trainee General Practitioners. The prevalence in higher than the described in previous studies for other groups of health professionals and should be taken into account to develop preventive measures.Copyright © 2020 The Authors.
