Supporting a diverse surgeon workforce: embracing personality and supporting psychological resilience to improve surgeon health and wellbeing
➡️https://t.co/fIhXJ6sycM

🔎Have a look at the invited commentary on the article by Greville-Harris et al. :
https://t.co/CMFVZ5y6nJ

👉Individual support (be it through resilience training or other psychological support), a cultural shift wherein providing wellbeing is prioritized, and persistent attention to areas of healthcare delivery systems that can be improved and optimized to reduce the burden on healthcare providers are undoubtedly necessary to curb the tide of burnout, stress and depression that poses a threat to the surgical workforce.

Surgeon perceptions of personality as an influencing factor on anastomotic decision‐making: A qualitative analysis - open access @ColorectalDis @susanmoug @nic_dames @CBizzle1 https://t.co/NipZXQ2ie5

[Kevin Turner @UroDoco]

Not all surgeons are the same, and our personalities influence our wellbeing. But it’s not all personality (which is relatively immutable). We show that malleable psychological skills and qualities play a role. That could be useful - because they can be targeted by interventions.

[BJS Open @BjsOpen]

Association of resilience and psychological flexibility with surgeons’ mental wellbeing
➡️https://t.co/CMFVZ5yEdh

This study examined whether two malleable psychological skills (psychological flexibility and resilience) mediated the relationship between personality traits and mental health in surgeons. Our findings suggest that it is not only a surgeon’s personality that predicts their mental health, but the extent to which a surgeon demonstrates these specific psychological skills. This has important implications for improving surgeons’ mental wellbeing, because psychological skills can be successfully targeted with interventions in a way that personality traits cannot.

This is a fantastic post Olivia. Thank you. It captures the reality of surgical life and of the adverse events that we all experience. Great to work alongside you in SUPPORT as we seek to prepare surgeons to support surgeons when things go wrong @RCSnews
