Objective To investigate the job burnout of marines and analyze the mediating role of psychological resilience between anxiety and job burnout of marines.Methods A total of 230 marines were chosen as research objects,and 147 servicemen stationed on island were enrolled as control.Military job burnout scale was used to evaluate their job burnout levels.Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC)and state trait anxiety inventory(STAI)were used to evaluate their psychological resilience and anxiety,respectively.Results The degree of job burnout of marines was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.001).Job burnout was negatively correlated with psychological resilience(P<0.001)and positively correlated with anxiety(P<0.001).Psychological resilience was negatively correlated with anxiety(P<0.001).Psychological resilience played a mediating role in the influence of anxiety on the job burnout of marines(indirect effect was 0.011[95%CI 0.002 to 0.021]).Conclusion Marines have a low level of job burnout.Anxiety is an important factor of job burnout.Anxiety can not only directly cause job burnout,but also aggravate job burnout by affecting the level of psychological resilience.It is very important to relieve anxiety and improve psychological resilience for reducing job burnout of marines.
