Purpose of review Understanding the impact of healthcare workers’ (HCW) happiness on patient care is crucial. The aim of this review is to provide an update on recent advances in the field. Recent findings The article depicts the importance of HCW's happiness; the factors, the psychometric tests, tools and methods to measure their happiness and wellbeing, as well as interventions that organizations can implement to improve it, summarizing what have been published from January 2022 up to August 2023. Summary HCW often face demanding work environments, long working hours, and emotional challenges when dealing with patients’ suffering. The constant exposure to such stressors can lead to physical and mental health issues. Factors like job satisfaction, work-life balance, and support from colleagues and supervisors play a significant role in their happiness. Tools such as the Shorted Happiness at Work Scale (SHAW) and Eudemonic and Hedonic happiness investigation, and other surveys and qualitative methods have been used to assess overall well being. Organizational strategies have been implemented to promote a positive work culture, recognize and reward efforts, and create a supportive environment to improve happiness. Mindfulness-based techniques, web-based interventions, practice gratitude, peer support programs, and stress management training seem to be effective measures to enhance the wellbeing of HCW.
