A wellness program significantly improved anesthesiology residents' well-being by reducing stressors and enhancing coping mechanisms. The intervention positively impacted social support and decreased anxiety among participants.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Physician Well-being
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Physician stress negatively impacts mental health, physical health, and patient care.
  • Anesthesiology residents face unique stressors during training.
  • Evaluating interventions to support resident well-being is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a wellness program on anesthesiology residents' well-being.
  • To compare the effects of a wellness intervention against control groups.

Main Methods:

  • Sixty anesthesiology residents were randomized into three groups: wellness intervention, no-treatment with release time, or no-treatment with routine duties.
  • A pre-test-post-test design measured coping strategies, stressors, social support, psychological symptoms, and substance use.
