Results The total score of job burnout among 1 067 head nurses from 66 grade-A tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province was （31.78±18.22） points. The dimensions in score from high to low were emotional exhaustion[（17.01±10.29）points],low level of personal accomplishment[（10.60±8.18）points],and depersonalization[（4.17±2.97）points]. The neuroticism of personality traits was positively correlated with emotional exhaustion,low level of personal accomplishment and depersonalization（r=0.339-0.605,all P<0.01）,while agreeableness,conscientiousness,and extroverted personality were negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion,low level of personal accomplishment and depersonalization（r=-0.106--0.525,all P<0.01）. The working years,neuroticism,conscientiousness,agreeableness,extroversion and openness were the important factors affecting job burnout of head nurses. Conclusions The head nurses from 66 grade-Atertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province are in mild job burnout.
