Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to test the differences of scores among different demographic groups, job burnout (including exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced personal accomplishment), sleep distress, depressive symptoms and turnover intention scores were analyzed by partial correlation analysis. [Results] A total of 1041 people participated in the questionnaire, with 1018 valid questionnaires effective 97.79%; 687 (67.5%) had sleep distress, 228 (22.4%) had depressive symptoms, and 700 (68.8%) had burnout. The results of the correlation analysis showed that, burnout was positively correlated with exhaustion, cynical, reduced personal accomplishment, sleep distress, depressive symptoms, and turnover intention (r= 0.810, 0.844, 0.587, 0.477, 0.659, 0.576, P< 0.01); Depletion was positively correlated with cynicism, reduced personal accomplishment, sleep distress, depressive symptoms, and turnover intention (r= 0.815, 0.107, 0.547, 0.702, 0.535, P< 0.01); Cynicism was positively correlated with reduced personal accomplishment, sleep distress, depressive symptoms, and turnover intention (r= 0.217, 0.472, 0.655, 0.591, P< 0.01); Reduced personal accomplishment was positively associated with sleep distress, depressive symptoms, and turnover intention (r= 0.076, 0.169, 0.209, P< 0.05/0.01); Sleep distress was positively associated with depressive symptoms and turnover intention (r= 0.621, 0.326, P< 0.01); Depressive symptoms were positively associated with turnover intention (r= 0.439, P< 0.01). [Conclusion] Primary medical staff have a high level of job burnout, and job burnout was correlated with depressive symptoms and turnover tendency, so the psychological status of staff should be emphasized.
