Environmental Factors Impacting Wellness in the Trauma Provider.
Alexis HessMaddison PorterSaskya ByerlyPublished in: Current trauma reports (2022)
Acute care surgeons are at increased risk of sleep deprivation, musculoskeletal pain and injury, pregnancy complications, moral injury, PTSD, and burnout. Surgeons experience feelings of isolation and personal devaluation after adverse events or complications, and this may lead to practice limitation and progression to PTSD and/or burnout. Interventions to provide mentorship, peer support, and education may help surgeons recover after adverse events. Further study is necessary to evaluate institution-driven interventional opportunities to improve surgeon well-being and to foster an inclusive and supportive environment.
