“…Potentially modifiable risk factors for burnout that have been identified in the literature include facilitating social engagement and belonging, cultivating self-efficacy, fostering emotional intelligence, formal mentoring, and adhering to the 80-hour work week. 4,9–11 Several surgical residency wellness programs to combat burnout have been reported in the literature in recent years. The Balance in Life program in the Department of Surgery at Stanford University uses four pillars to promote resident and trainee wellness.…”

Background: Surgical training is constantly adapting to better prepare trainees for an evolving landscape of surgical practice. Training in vascular surgery additionally underwent a paradigm shift with the introduction of the integrated training pathway now more than a decade ago. With this study, we sought to characterize the needs and goals of our current vascular surgery trainee population. Methods: The Association of Program Directors in Vascular Surgery Issues Committee compiled a survey to assess demographics, current needs, and goals of trainees and to evaluate trainee distress using a validated seven-item Physician Well-Being Index. The survey was distributed electronically to all current vascular surgery trainees and recent graduates in the academic years 2016-2017 and 2017-2018, and responses were recorded anonymously. Results: During the 2 years of the survey, the response rate was 30% (n = 367/1196). The respondents were 55% (n = 202) integrated vascular residents and 45% (n = 165) vascular surgery fellows. In each year of the survey, 60% (n = 102/170) and 58% (n = 86/148) of trainees expressed a desire to pursue academics in their careers, whereas 37% (n = 63/174) and 35% (n = 53/152) indicated their program had structured academic development time (2016-2017 and 2017-2018, respectively). Fifty-five percent (n = 96/174) and 52% (n = 79/152) stated that the overall impact of collaborative learners was positive. More than 60% of respondents in both years of the survey indicated experiencing one or more symptoms of distress on a weekly basis. The frequency of distress was associated with older age and with the presence of an advanced degree in both years of the survey. Sex, level of training, presence of collaborative learners, and having protected research time were not associated with frequency of distress in either year of the survey. Conclusions: These results highlight an opportunity for programs to further evaluate the needs of their trainees for academic development during vascular surgery training to better accommodate trainees' career goals. Further investigation to identify modifiable risk factors for distress among vascular surgery trainees is warranted.

“…13 Indeed, for surgery residents, EQ significantly predicted well-being, depression, burnout and its specific components-emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. 27,28 In pediatric resident's, EQ training generated a significant improvement in stress management and overall wellness. 27 A recent article, 6 which discussed the benefits of emotional intelligence during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggested the use of mindfulness micro-practices as a method to prevent burnout.…”

Description Today's physicians are being confronted with an increasing number of challenges and opportunities as our evolving healthcare system progresses into the future. The expectation is not only to provide the best clinical care, but also to satisfy metrics, fulfill budgets, achieve high patient satisfaction levels and accomplish institutional requirements in order to be considered good providers. All these additional demands seem to be affecting not only the clinical performance of physicians but also their wellness, increasing the risk of burnout, depression and suicide.

“…The mean scores across the 30 statements ranged from 3.9 to 5.9 across all of the participants, akin to the range of scores seen among surgical resident populations in other studies. [23][24][25][26] The median score for the higher visual spatial ability group was 42 (range 41-43), whereas the median score for the lower visual spatial ability group was 38 (range 37-40).…”
