Abstrakt: Objective: To perform a literature review on burnout prevalence, factors that affect burnout and well-being, and solutions to address burnout in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OTO-HNS) residents and residents in other surgical specialties.
Data Sources: Ovid Medline, Embase, and article reference lists.
Review Methods: A literature search was performed to identify articles on resident burnout, distress, wellness, well-being, and quality of life. Articles deemed outside the scope of the current work were excluded. Search was limited to the past 5 years.
Conclusions: Moderate to high burnout has been reported in 35% to 86% of OTO-HNS residents. Among other surgical specialties, resident burnout ranges between 58% and 66% in plastics, 11% and 67% in neurosurgery, 38% and 68% in urology, and 31% and 56% in orthopedics. Highest burnout rates were seen in postgraduate year 2 residents. Factors significantly associated with burnout included hours worked (>80 h/wk), level of autonomy, exercise, and program support. Reported resident work hours have steadily increased: 8% of OTO-HNS residents in 2005 vs 26% in 2019 reported averaging >80 h/wk. Practical implications of resident burnout include decreased empathy, moral distress and injury, poor health, decreased quality of life, increased attrition, decreased desire to pursue fellowship, and increased likelihood of medical errors. Structured mentorship programs, wellness initiatives, and increased ancillary support have been associated with lower burnout rates and improvements in resident well-being across specialties.
Implications for Practice: Addressing burnout, which is prevalent in OTO-HNS residents, is critical to improving patient care and physician well-being. Surgical specialties can share strategies to effectively address resident burnout through institutional interventions, which can be essential quality improvement initiatives, to promote well-being.
