Disparities in mentorship and implications for US surgical resident education and wellness.
This research investigates the role and impact of mentorship in surgical training programs across the United States. The study utilized a voluntary, anonymous survey distributed to residents in accredited general surgery residency programs following the 2019 American Board of Surgery In-Service Training Examination. The survey focused on residents' perceptions of meaningful mentorship, defined as having a mentor who genuinely cares about the resident and their career. The study examined factors associated with experiencing meaningful mentorship and its relationship to resident education and wellness outcomes. Approximately two-thirds of respondents reported having meaningful mentorship. The research found that non-White or Hispanic residents were less likely to report meaningful mentorship compared to non-Hispanic White residents. Senior residents were more likely to report meaningful mentorship than interns. The study revealed significant associations between meaningful mentorship and positive outcomes in both education and wellness. Residents with meaningful mentors were more likely to report operative autonomy and less likely to experience burnout, thoughts of leaving the program, or suicidal ideation.

Discrimination, Abuse, Harassment, and Burnout in Surgical Residency Training.
A cross-sectional national survey of general surgery residents, administered with the 2018 American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination, assessed mistreatment, burnout, and suicidal thoughts during the past year. The authors assessed the association of mistreatment with burnout and suicidal thoughts; they found that mistreatment occurs frequently among general surgery residents, especially women, and is associated with burnout and suicidal thoughts.

Burnout is associated with emotional intelligence but not traditional job performance measurements in surgical residents.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether burnout was associated with emotional intelligence and job performance in surgical residents. The investigators found that burnout was present in surgery residents and was associated with emotional intelligence. There was no association of burnout with United States Medical Licensing Examination scores, American Board of Surgery In-Training Exam percentile, or surgical milestones. The investigators suggested that traditional methods of assessing resident performance may not be capturing burnout and strategies to reduce burnout should consider targeting emotional intelligence.

Stress from uncertainty and resilience among depressed and burned out residents: a cross-sectional study.
This study examined how stress from uncertainty is related to resilience among medical residents and whether those attributes are related to depression and burnout. The investigators surveyed 86 residents in pediatric residency programs from 4 urban freestanding children’s hospitals in North America in 2015. They used the Physicians’ Reaction to Uncertainty Scale to measure stress from uncertainty, the 14-item Resilience Scale to measure uncertainty, the Harvard National Depression Scale for depression, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory for burnout. There was a response rate of 58.1%. Five residents met depression criteria, and 15 residents met the burnout criteria. Depressed and burned out residents both had higher mean levels of stress compared to residents who neither depressed nor burned out.
