“…The review identified 20 relevant studies; six targeted open clinical skills (Wetzel et al 2011;Ignacio et al 2016;Lorello et al 2016;Ignacio et al 2017;Goldberg et al 2018;Church 2019) and 14 targeted closed clinical skills (Immenroth et al 2007;Wright et al 2008;Arora et al 2011;Hunziker et al 2013;Maher et al 2013;Anton, Mulji, et al 2017;Stefanidis, Anton, McRary, et al 2017;Anton et al 2018Anton et al , 2019Anton et al , 2020Raison et al 2018 The extent of PMST in HPE As Supplement Table 1 shows, the majority of the studies were from the United States of America (n ¼ 10) and the United Kingdom (n ¼ 5), with 14 studies on closed CS and six studies on open CS.…”

“…For identifying the overall outcomes of PMST, studies which demonstrate outcomes which have a logical association, such as the studies with both PMS and CS (associated PMS and CS) are of greater interest compared than studies which only measured PMS or CS. Significant positive outcomes for associated PMS and CS were identified in seven studies (Wetzel et al 2011;Lorello et al 2016;Stefanidis, Anton, McRary, et al 2017;Anton, Mulji, et al 2017;Anton et al 2018;Raison et al 2018) (see Supplement Table 3).…”

Applying sport psychology in health professions education: A systematic review of performance mental skills training

Introduction: Health professionals are expected to consistently perform to a high standard during a variety of challenging clinical situations, which can provoke stress and impair their performance. There is increasing interest in applying sport psychology training using performance mental skills (PMS) immediately before and during performance. Methods: A systematic review of the main relevant databases was conducted with the aim to identify how PMS training (PMST) has been applied in health professions education and its outcomes. Results: The 20 selected studies noted the potential for PMST to improve performance, especially for simulated situations. The key implementation components were a multimodal approach that targeted several PMS in combination and delivered face-to-face delivery in a group by a trainer with expertise in PMS. The average number of sessions was 5 and of 57 min duration, with structured learner guidance, an opportunity for practice of the PMS and a focus on application for transfer to another context. Conclusion: Future PMST can be informed by the key implementation components identified in the review but further design and development research is essential to close the gap in current understanding of the effectiveness of PMST and its key implementation components, especially in real-life situations.

“…This kind of awareness is an essential measure to change or exclude ineffective behaviours and focus on what truly has to be done (Shahin and Salehzadeh 2013). The skill "evaluation of values and beliefs" helps professionals remain flexible to adapt to changing situational demands, such as unexpected stressors that can increase (the feeling of) a heavy workload (Anton et al 2018). Additionally, addressing the stressful circumstances (the heavy workload situation) in one's mind (the "self-imagery" skill) helps to successfully respond to (potential) stressors and deal with the situation (Neck et al 2013).…”

This three-wave study examined the training-to-work transfer process of a self-leadership skills training programme for crime scene investigators working for the Dutch police force. The transfer process is complex and depends on numerous factors. Two important steps forward are taken in the present study. First, we take into account all transfer steps in one study to gain insights into the transfer process, and second, by being specific about the work situation in which transfer outcomes should occur, we address the “criterion problem” that is often mentioned in transfer research. Based on the Ability Motivation Opportunity model, we hypothesised that the posttraining transfer process starts with being motivated to transfer and that this motivation increases the use of self-leadership during work. Another aspect that may facilitate the use of trained skills is supervisor support, as it offers opportunities to use self-leadership skills during work. In turn, self-leadership skills at work were hypothesised to lead to increased work performance. We tested our transfer model in two different work situations experienced by crime fighters. Our findings show that the use of self-leadership skills is positively related to the detached concern of crime fighters in specific situations. Additionally, our findings show that the use of self-leadership skills mediates the relation between the motivation to transfer and work performance in specific situations. Finally, our findings show that including different transfer steps (i.e. the motivation to transfer, use of skills, and performance), different performance measures, and different work situations in the transfer process provides more insight into when and how transfer-to-work after training occurs. These findings suggest that if organisations aspire to improve such transfer, then they should be specific about the intended posttraining behaviours and performance and the situations in which these outcomes should emerge.

“…When a colleague or teammate shows personal or professional disconnect, intuitive and empathetic surgeon leaders must recognize these as symptoms suggestive of Burnout and take appropriate action. However, before taking action, the surgeon leader must understand the concept of mindfulness skills or mental coping strategies, which may be effective in mitigating stress in various work environments [ 23 – 26 ]. One mental coping strategy—achieving a restful mental state prior to performance—is known to improve performance of surgical residents [ 27 ].…”

The COVID-19 reset: lessons from the pandemic on Burnout and the Practice of Surgery

et al. 2020

Background Burnout among physicians is an increasing concern, and surgeons are not immune to this threat. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused dramatic changes to surgeon workflow, often leading to redeployment to other clinical areas, slowdown and shutdown of elective surgery practices, and an uncertain future of surgical practice in the post-pandemic setting. Paradoxically, for many surgeons who had to prepare for but not immediately care for a major surge, the crisis did allow for reflective opportunities and a resetting of priorities that could serve to mitigate chronic patterns contributory to Burnout. Methods SAGES Reimagining the Practice of Surgery task force convened a webinar to discuss lessons learned from the COVID pandemic that may address burnout. Results Burnout is multifactorial and may vary in cause among different generation/experience groups. Those that report burnout symptoms often complain of lacking purpose or meaning in their work. Although many mechanisms to address Burnout are from a defensive standpoint-including coping mechanisms, problem solving, and identification of a physician having wellness difficulties-offensive mechanisms such as pursuing purpose and meaning and finding joy in one's work can serve as reset points that promote thriving and fulfillment. Understanding what motivates physicians will help physician leaders to develop and sustain effective teams. Reinvigorating the surgical workforce around themes of meaning and joy in the service rendered via our surgical skills may diminish Burnout through generative and aspirational strategies, as opposed to merely reactive ones. Fostering an educational environment free of discriminatory or demeaning behavior may produce a new workforce conducive to enhanced and resilient wellbeing at the start of careers. Conclusion Surgeon wellness and self-care must be considered an important factor in the future of all healthcare delivery systems, a need reaffirmed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
