Cognitive Dissonance

35.1K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

201
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Psychology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Physician burnout is a significant issue with inconsistent intervention results.
  • Optimism interventions in other fields show promise for enhancing well-being.
  • Psychological interventions targeting optimism may reduce burnout risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an optimism curriculum's impact on resident burnout.
  • Utilized Lazarus' Ways of Coping as a framework.
  • Assessed changes in optimism, happiness, and burnout.

Main Methods:

  • Internal Medicine residents (n=36) participated in a 3-session optimism curriculum.
  • Pre- and post-curriculum validated surveys measured optimism, happiness, and burnout.
  • A post-curriculum evaluation assessed program effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • Low optimism scores correlated with higher burnout.
  • Post-intervention showed numerical improvements in optimism, happiness, and burnout.
  • Burnout scores decreased numerically, but not to a statistically significant degree (p=0.24).

Conclusions:

  • Teaching optimism to residents is feasible and integrable into residency education.
  • This pilot study suggests a potential role for optimism curricula in residency training.
  • Further studies are warranted to confirm the efficacy of optimism interventions for burnout reduction.
