Overview

Randomized trial assesses burnout and well-being improvements in medicine residents, suggesting the need for early wellness programs.

Key Points

  • This study evaluates the effectiveness of grassroots and formal programs in reducing burnout and enhancing well-being among medicine residents.
  • Residents participated in grassroots wellness interventions from November 2016 to August 2017 and a formal program-driven resiliency curriculum from August 2017 to June 2018.
  • Wellness interventions included monthly reports, bimonthly workshops, and biannual conferences.
  • The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Physician Well-Being Index (PWBI) evaluated burnout and well-being pre- and post-intervention.
  • No significant difference in MBI scores for emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, or personal accomplishment after grassroots or formal interventions (P > 0.20).
  • Students reported higher burnout levels in emotional exhaustion (P = 0.001) and personal accomplishment (P = 0.02) compared to residents.
  • Improvement in PWBI scores was observed among students postcurriculum (P = 0.01), but not among residents (P = 0.20).
