“…The work hour regulations suggested by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education partly provides a solution to improve patient safety and care quality. [ 47 ] Work hour and on-call limitation may decrease burnout and improve resident quality of life; however, its implementation should ensure a balance of expected service responsibilities, with the academic and educational training mission and values.…”

Introduction:Persistent imbalance between work demands and resources seems to be a crucial contributor to the development of burnout among medical professionals. Yet, it seems that Middle East is lacking studies analyzing psychological well-being's of medical residents. Hence, we aimed to conduct a nationwide study to understand and address burnout and depression in medical residents in the UAE.Methods:A multicenter, cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate professional burnout and depression among medical residents to address the gap.Results:Our results indicate that 75.5% (216/286) of UAE medical residents had moderate-to-high emotional exhaustion (EE), 84% (249/298) had high depersonalization (DP), and 74% (216/291) had a low sense of personal accomplishment. In aggregate, 70% (212/302) of medical residents were considered to be experiencing at least one symptom of burnout based on a high EE score or a high DP score. Depression ranging from 6% to 22%, depending on the specialty was also noted. Noticeably, 83% (40/48) of medical residents who had high scores for depression also reported burnout.Conclusions:This study shows that burnout and depression are high among medical residents in UAE. There is a crucial need to address burnout through effective interventions at both the individual and institutional levels. Professional counseling services for residents will certainly be a step forward to manage resident burnout provided the social stigma associated with counseling can be eliminated with awareness. The work hour regulations suggested by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education partly provides a solution to improve patient safety and care quality. There is an urge to reconfigure the approach to medical training for the well-being of the next generation of physicians in the Arab world.

Development and Implementation of a Novel Curriculum for Emergent Management of Adults with Congenital Heart Disease

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The number of adults with congenital heart disease is rapidly increasing, resulting in more emergency care needs of this unique population. Concomitantly, the number of physicians trained in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) care is insufficient, leading to physicians with limited experience assuming primary responsibility for the management of acute illness. We developed a simulation-based curriculum consisting of three cases and linked assessment instruments for fellows in multiple training programs to enhance their experience in this growing field. A 40-min asynchronous didactic presentation on ACHD emergencies was provided between pretests and posttests. Each participant was given checklist, global, and timeliness scores, and a second rater scored a subset to assess inter-rater reliability. Twenty-two participants across multiple disciplines completed the study. Our results demonstrate a significant and meaningful improvement in checklist scores, as well as a significant improvement in the secondary measures of global and efficiency performance from the first simulation to the second. Comfort levels for trainees improved significantly on post-test surveys. Inter-rater reliability was greater than 0.6 for all assessments. In conclusion, our novel simulation-based educational curriculum improved trainee performance in managing emergencies in adults with congenital heart disease, and we provide validity evidence for use of our checklist in training fellows for formative feedback.
