Resident doctors regularly suffer burnout because of a wide range of issues, including long working hours, high academic requirements, a lack of independence, balancing their workload and familial responsibilities, low benefits, and anxiety over their future. This is particularly problematic since burnout can increase the probability of medical mistakes and decrease the quality of patient care. This study was conducted in Baku, Azerbaijan, and used a descriptive study design to investigate the situation among residents in obstetrics and gynecology. The Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Service Survey (MBI-HSS) was used as the basis for the data collection method employed in this study. Software IBM SPSS version 22.0 was used to analyze the data. The significance level was set at p<0.05. The study included 40 resident doctors in obstetrics and gynecology, with a mean age of 26.2 years. Female respondents formed a greater proportion of study participants (35 or 87.5 %). When we collected MBI-HSS Scores for burnout, we found 36 (90%) high scores followed by 4 average scores (10.0%). All female residents show high burnout scores. Average burnout scores were observed in 3 of the 5 male residents (60%). Medical residency programs in Azerbaijan might help the residents avoid burnout while creating the resiliency they need to develop both emotionally and professionally through the practical implementation of multiple techniques.
