Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Practice
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Surgeons face high-risk environments with significant physical, emotional, and academic demands.
  • These stressors can diminish surgeon well-being, impacting patient care and career longevity.
  • Burnout is a known issue, but surgeon well-being is a broader concept.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine existing well-being interventions for faculty and resident surgeons.
  • To evaluate the structures, themes, and outcome measures of these interventions.
  • To identify gaps in current surgeon well-being practices.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was performed across multiple databases.
  • Interventions targeting surgery faculty and residents were evaluated.
  • Key well-being components were identified and categorized into professional, personal, and work-life balance domains.

Main Results:

  • Sixty-one articles were included, with interventions focusing on burnout (28), work-related stressors (27), career satisfaction (9), work-life balance (16), physical health (16), emotional health (18), and relationships (2).
  • Study designs varied, including randomized controlled trials (13) and single-group designs (30).
  • Outcomes were primarily measured using validated surveys (37) and study-specific surveys (34).

Conclusions:

  • Surgeon well-being is multifaceted, involving professional and personal aspects.
  • Current interventions predominantly target burnout and work-related stressors, often using survey measures.
  • There is a need for enhanced well-being interventions for residents and faculty, with greater emphasis on career satisfaction and relationships.
