Analysis of Burnout and Self-Efficacy of Teachers of Physical Education During Online Learning.

ABSTRACT: The research is based on interpretive phenomenological analysis and the interview method. The sample involved 100 secondary school students from five to nine grades and eight physical education teachers. All participants studied the proposed physical education program in-person for one academic semester, as well as studied the program online for one academic semester. It was found that online learning was viewed unfavorably by 87% of teachers. However, 65% of participants admitted that learning opportunities were limited, and they experienced difficulties with appropriate lesson content, equipment, and space to foster a positive learning environment and a productive working context. In addition, marginalization occurred as parents and students paid more attention to other subject areas except for physical education. The research suggested that the majority of teachers (89%) were looking forward to full-time and face-to-face physical education training because they lacked personal relationships and interaction with their students.

Virtual Reality (VR) Device with Integrated Biofeedback Sensors (ReViSide) to Cope with Emotional Burnout State Among Employees Experiencing Stress at Workplace: Problem Overview and Action Plan.

INTRODUCTION: In this study we examine the issue of employee burnout, caused by long-term exposure to workplace stressors, considering its complex phenomenology in the context of contemporary psychological and psychiatric views. Towards the development of innovative technologies to correct burnout in the context of psychosocial rehabilitation, we present our study protocol involving the ReViSide virtual reality (VR) and biofeedback intervention, including monitoring of respiratory rates and EEG rhythms. METHODS: The randomized controlled trial protocol includes adult participants aged 18 to 65 years (n=140) who exhibit emotional burnout in the workplace. The intervention group will undergo a course of VR correction (ReViSide), while the control group receives a standard psychocorrection. The primary endpoint will be level of emotional burnout to the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). We shall also assess anxiety, depression, asthenia and subjective improvement in condition using validated scales (HADS, HARS, HDRS, VAS-A, PGI-C). RESULTS: We shall test our hypothesis that the VR-correction group will show significant improvements in MBI scores, particularly in emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment, compared to the control group. Secondary outcome measures are likewise expected to demonstrate more prominent improvements in the VR group, correlating with the magnitude of burnout reduction to MBI. Analysis of EEG data may reveal changes in alpha rhythm patterns during VR sessions, potentially correlating with reduced distress levels. CONCLUSIONS: We designed this study to test the integration of an interdisciplinary approach for treating burnout, highlighting the ReViSide technology. Confirming the efficacy of this approach for psychosocial rehabilitation targeting burnout states among employees should improve their stress resilience, daily motivation, and work productivity in the context of the modern high working pressure environment and demanding corporate culture.

Even if you build it, they may not come: challenges in the uptake of workplace mental health toolkits.

BACKGROUND: Strategies to promote workplace mental health can target system, organization, team, and individual levels exclusively or in concert with each other. Creating toolkits that include these different levels is an emerging innovative strategy to support employees working in various sectors. Our paper describes the development, implementation, and refinement of two different online toolkits: the Healthy Professional Worker Toolkit for Education Workers and the Health Worker Burnout Toolkit. METHODS: The Knowledge to Action Framework guided the team during the development and early interventions phases of toolkit development. Stakeholder engagement regarding the intended use of the toolkit of promising practices for workplace interventions was integrated throughout with different forms of feedback in a research capacity between 2022 and 2024. RESULTS: Reflecting on the different phases of the KTA Framework, we describe first the engagement involved in building the toolkits and then on their utilization. Our toolkits were built to include different resources aimed at empowering workers, teams, and employers offering innovative ideas to address the mental health-leaves of absence and return to work cycle in one case and the different forms and consequences of burnout in the other. Criteria for inclusion were informed by ongoing research with a range of stakeholders and other intended toolkit users including managers, supervisors, executives, human resource specialists, staff, and others in healthcare and educational organizations and settings. In the implementation phase, the volume of resources available in each toolkit considered a strength by some was overwhelming for some partners and individual workers to navigate. Capacity, engagement, time, and readiness for change, are themes that heavily influenced if and when organizations interacted with each toolkit, and how much time they spent exploring the resources provided. CONCLUSION: It is critical to ground toolkits in the experiential evidence of workplace mental health as is linking these to evidence-informed interventions that correspond to workplace concerns. Organizational readiness to adopt and adapt resources and implement changes is a key consideration. Ultimately, user engagement is what brought these toolkits to life.

Beyond the operating room: addressing the "second-victim" phenomenon in surgical practice.

Complications are plausible events during surgical operations. Surgical complications profoundly impact surgeons, often called "second victims" of adverse events. These complications trigger a range of emotional and psychological responses, including guilt, anxiety, heightened empathy, and the looming threat of burnout. Moreover, the toll extends to physical health, with chronic stress and sleep disturbances taking their toll. Surgeons' social lives are not immune to the fallout, and their career satisfaction may wane, pushing some towards defensive medicine practices. While mentorship, counselling, and peer support are crucial support mechanisms, they encounter barriers such as time constraints and the fear of negative perceptions. This paper suggests practical recommendations, including comprehensive wellness programmes, a streamlined badge card system for easy access to resources, and mindfulness training to mitigate stress and burnout. Recognising and proactively addressing these multifaceted impacts is imperative for cultivating a resilient medical community capable of providing optimal patient care.

Psychoeducational Burnout Intervention for Nurses: Protocol for a Systematic Review.

BACKGROUND: Nurses face high levels of stress and emotional exhaustion due to heavy workloads and demanding work environments. Prolonged exposure to these stressors predisposes nurses to burnout, which can adversely affect patient care. Addressing burnout among nurses requires a multifaceted approach, involving both personal and organizational strategies. While organizational strategies target systemic workplace issues, personal interventions are often favored for their ease of implementation, immediate benefits, and empowerment of health care workers through stress management and resilience-building. Prioritizing evidence-based interventions to mitigate burnout among nurses is crucial for managing occupational stress and promoting well-being. Person-directed psychoeducation is an effective personal intervention strategy used to equip nurses with the appropriate knowledge and skills to handle stressors, thereby safeguarding their mental health and ensuring high-quality patient care. OBJECTIVE: This protocol proposes a systematic review that aims to identify and assess the effectiveness of person-directed psychoeducational interventions for nurses. The review aims to pinpoint effective interventions that can be implemented to manage burnout and support the mental health of nurses. METHODS: This systematic review will follow the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. In total of 5 electronic databases (PubMed-MEDLINE, EBSCOhost, Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, and ScienceDirect) will be searched for studies published between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2023. The search will encompass 3 main keywords: "nurses," "burnout intervention," and "burnout." Predefined eligibility criteria will guide the screening process. Data will be extracted to address the objectives of the review. The risk of bias for each study will be assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools. RESULTS: Preliminary searches have been initiated since February 2024, with the review expected to be completed by June 2024. The expected results will include a comprehensive list of psychoeducational interventions and their effectiveness in reducing burnout among nurses. The review will highlight interventions that demonstrate significant impact in published studies from various countries. CONCLUSIONS: Given the rising prevalence of burnout among nurses and its detrimental effects on individuals and health care organizations, the findings from this systematic review are expected to inform health care policy and practice. By evaluating different interventions, it will provide insights into the most effective strategies, contributing to evidence-based practices that support nurses' mental health and well-being. The findings can support stakeholders in developing and implementing targeted strategies to combat nurse burnout, ultimately enhancing the quality of patient care and health care delivery. In addition, the findings will also offer valuable information for researchers, guiding future practice and research in this area.

Strengthening the Psychological Health and Readiness of Military Critical Care Nurses for Disaster and Future Combat Environments.

Critical care nursing is a highly dynamic and demanding field, and critical care nurses play a vital role in the US military health care system. Although many critical care nurses are resilient to myriad occupational exposures, for some nurses the job leads to adverse psychological effects, including compassion fatigue and burnout. This article describes the evidence used to develop a psychoeducation program designed to mitigate burnout among health care professionals, particularly critical care nurses. Implementation considerations (including those in the context of disaster response) and future battlefield are discussed. Ultimately, supporting the psychological health of the US military's critical care nurse force is vital to ensure their well-being, the readiness of our armed forces, and the security of our nation.

Filling the gaps in the COVID-19 pandemic response: medical personnel in the US military health system.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented public health emergency that heavily affected the healthcare workforce. Although the Military Health System (MHS) has robust capabilities and was able to deploy medical staff to support civilian hospitals during the crisis, it too was adversely impacted by personnel issues. We aimed to identify and address gaps in understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare personnel in the MHS. METHODS: We conducted semi-structured key informant interviews with 28 MHS stakeholders, including policymakers, program managers, and healthcare providers. We recruited respondents using purposive and snowball sampling until we reached thematic saturation. Interviews were conducted virtually from December 2022 to March 2023 and coded by deductive thematic analysis using NVivo. RESULTS: Burnout and mental health concerns across the workforce increased during the pandemic, although some felt military culture facilitated resilience. Reduction in personnel was noted and slow hiring processes and noncompetitive wages hindered hiring, contributing to staffing shortages. Initial disruptions occurred in training and skills readiness, although these issues were reduced over time. Concerns remain about newer trainees' preparedness and teaching staff's availability in the MHS. CONCLUSION: This study uniquely assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic response on the MHS healthcare workforce through in-depth key informant interviews. Multi-pronged strategies are needed to promote personnel well-being in complex healthcare systems like the MHS.

Testing the Effectiveness of a Mobile Smartphone App Designed to Improve the Mental Health of Junior Physicians: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: Shift (Black Dog Institute) is the first mobile health smartphone app created to support the mental health of junior physicians. Junior physicians experience demanding work conditions, leading to high levels of psychological distress and burnout. However, they are often concerned about the potential career impacts of seeking mental health support. The confidentiality and ease of access of digital interventions may be particularly suited to address these concerns. The Shift app provides therapeutic and psychoeducational content and strategies contextualized for the specific needs of physicians in training. App content includes information on mental health, help seeking, mindfulness, and common workplace-related concerns of junior physicians. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to test, at scale, the effectiveness of Shift among junior physicians working in Australia using a randomized controlled trial design. The primary aim is to examine whether junior physicians using Shift experience a reduction in depressive symptoms compared with a waitlist control group. The secondary aim is to examine whether the app intervention group experiences improvements in anxiety, work and social functioning, help seeking, quality of life, and burnout compared with the control group. METHODS: A total of 778 junior physicians were recruited over the internet through government and nongovernment medical organizations across Australia, as well as through paid social media advertisements. They were randomly allocated to one of 2 groups: (1) the intervention group, who were asked to use the Shift app for a period of 30 days, or (2) the waitlist control group, who were placed on a waitlist and were asked to use the app after 3 months. Participants completed psychometric measures for self-assessing mental health and wellbeing outcomes, with assessments occurring at baseline, 1 month after completing the baseline period, and 3 months after completing the baseline period. Participants in the waitlist control group were asked to complete an additional web-based questionnaire 1 month after receiving access to the app or 4 months after completing the baseline survey. Participants took part in the study on the internet; the study was completely automated. RESULTS: The study was funded from November 2022 to December 2024 by the New South Wales Ministry of Health. Data collection for the study occurred between January and August 2024, with 780 participants enrolling in the study during this time. Data analysis is underway; the effectiveness of the intervention will be estimated on an intention-to-treat basis using a mixed-model, repeated measures analysis. Results are expected to be submitted for publication in 2025. CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of a mobile health smartphone app specifically designed to support the mental health of junior physicians.

Well-Being Outcomes of Health Care Workers After a 5-Hour Continuing Education Intervention: The WELL-B Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Compromised well-being in health care workers (HCWs) is detrimental to the workforce, organizations, and patients. Objective: To test the effectiveness of Well-Being Essentials for Learning Life-Balance (WELL-B), a web-based continuing education program to deliver brief, evidence-based, reflective, psychological interventions to improve 4 dimensions of HCW well-being (ie, emotional exhaustion, emotional thriving, emotional recovery, and work-life integration). Design, Setting, and Participants: A randomized clinical trial (RCT) of US inpatient and outpatient HCWs randomized 1:1 was conducted from January 3 through May 31, 2023, using a web-based intervention. Cohort 1 received 5 hours of WELL-B over 8 days; cohort 2 acted as the control group and received WELL-B after the end of the RCT. Eligibility criteria were US HCWs aged 18 years or older, including clinical (physician, nurse, and respiratory therapist) and nonclinical (administrative, information technology, and finance) roles. Interventions: Continuing education sessions exposed participants to positive psychology interventions (gratitude letter, work-life integration, self-compassion and cultivating awe). Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was emotional exhaustion on day 8; secondary outcomes included emotional thriving, emotional recovery, and work-life integration. All outcomes were measured using psychometrically valid scales previously reported in well-being RCTs and were assessed on days 1 and 8 (primary end point). Differences in outcome measures between the WELL-B intervention group and controls were assessed using t tests. Baseline-adjusted multiple linear regression models were evaluated to examine the association between the WELL-B intervention and the outcome measures after adjusting for additional covariates (sex, race and ethnicity, age, HCW role, and discipline). Intention-to-treat analysis was performed. Results: The cohorts were similar at baseline, mostly female (528 [89%]) and nurses (177 [30%]). A total of 643 respondents participated in the study. In cohort 1, 331 participants initiated WELL-B, and 262 (71%) completed the day 8 follow-up; in cohort 2, 312 participants initiated WELL-B and 291 (77%) completed the day 8 follow-up. Compared with the control cohort, WELL-B significantly improved emotional exhaustion (estimate: -9.0; 95% CI, -13.1 to -4.9; P < .001), emotional thriving (estimate: 6.6; 95% CI, 3.2-10.0; P < .001), emotional recovery (estimate: 5.5; 95% CI, 2.0-9.0; P = .002), and work-life integration (estimate: -5.0; 95% CI, -8.2 to -1.9; P = .002). After adjusting for baseline outcome measures, sex, race and ethnicity, age, HCW role, and discipline, the linear regression model showed WELL-B improved day 8 emotional exhaustion (estimate: -9.6; 95% CI, -12.5 to -6.6; P < .001) compared with the control group. Favorable impressions of WELL-B were reported by more than 90% of the participants. Conclusions and Relevance: In this RCT, brief well-being activities delivered during continuing education sessions improved short-term HCW emotional exhaustion, emotional thriving, emotional recovery, and work-life integration, with and without adjusting for covariates. Health care worker impressions of WELL-B were positive. These findings suggest that WELL-B is a beneficial intervention. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05636072.

[Impact of 12-hour shifts on nurse, patient, and organizational outcomes. A critical review]. / L'uso dei turni di 12 ore sugli esiti degli infermieri, dei pazienti e dell'organizzazione. Una revisione critica della letteratura.

. Impact of 12-hour shifts on nurse, patient and organizational outcomes. A critical review. INTRODUCTION: The use of 12-hour shifts has been considered beneficial in reducing staffing costs, attracting more nurses, improving work-life balance, and organizing care more efficiently. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review is to critically examine the available evidence on the impact of 12-hour shifts on nurse, patient, and organizational outcomes. METHODS: A critical review of the literature was undertaken. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods studies analyzing the effect of long shifts (>12 working hours) were included. The search was performed on MEDLINE through PubMed and Cinhal. RESULTS: Fifty-four articles were included, covering publications from 1976 to 2024. Evidence suggests that nursing care and patient safety may deteriorate with 12-hour shifts, with mixed findings on continuity of care. 12-hour shifts can lead to increased nurses' fatigue, without a decrease in job performance, and can have negative impacts on physical health, continuing education, burnout, and job satisfaction. While qualitative studies indicate improved work-life balance, this is not supported by empirical evidence. One study suggests a decrease in costs, but the effects on sick leave are inconclusive. Additionally, intention-to-leave among nurses appears to increase. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence generally does not support the use of 12-hour shifts. However, due to methodological limitations in the included studies, firm conclusions cannot be drawn. Organizations and nurses should carefully consider the introduction of 12-hour shifts, evaluating nurses' needs and implementing patient-centered care models that support nursing professionalism, along with a continuous monitoring of patient, nurse, and organizational outcomes.

"No One Seems to See Us, and They Look at Us as Worthless Colleagues": Challenges Experienced by Iranian Transplant Nurse Coordinators-A Qualitative Study.

BACKGROUND: Transplant nurse coordinators have close and long-term interactions with organ donor families throughout the organ donation process. Due to the responsibilities and high sensitivity of organ transplant coordination, transplant nurse coordinators face several stressful challenges. This study aimed to explore the challenges faced by Iranian transplant nurse coordinators. METHODS: This is a qualitative study conducted using qualitative content analysis. This study was conducted from February to September 2023. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with a total of 14 transplant nurse coordinators. Data were analyzed using conventional qualitative content analysis proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. RESULTS: "Challenges of living as a transplant nurse coordinator" was identified as the main category, the subcategories of which included "consent-obtaining obstacles," "exposure to violence," "compassion fatigue," "obsessive thoughts," "work-life imbalance," and "hardworking coordinators in the shadow." CONCLUSIONS: The challenges experienced by transplant nurse coordinators can lead to several negative consequences, including job burnout and turnover, reduced quality of family and marital life, additional healthcare costs, and reduced organ donation rate. To address these challenges, cultivating a culture of organ donation in society could involve public awareness campaigns and educational initiatives. Improving the working conditions and occupational incentives could include reducing work hours, providing psychological support, and increasing salaries. Implementing psychological interventions could involve regular counseling sessions and stress management programs. These measures can effectively reduce the challenges transplant nurse coordinators face and improve their overall well-being and job satisfaction.

A custom tailored, evidence-based, theory-informed intervention for healthcare professionals to prevent burnout (LAGOM): study protocol for a pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Healthcare professionals in hospitals are exposed to a high level of professional stress, time pressure, workload, and often times poor organizational support. This makes them especially susceptible to burnout. In this pragmatic randomized controlled trial, we test the hypothesis that participation in a 9-week program (LAGOM) that was designed in close collaboration with healthcare professionals, incorporating both individual and organizational aspects reduces emotional exhaustion in healthcare professionals (primary outcome). METHODS: Eighty four nurses and physicians working at the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Immanuel Hospital Berlin are automatically randomized to the LAGOM program (n = 42) or to usual care (n = 42) in a one-to-one allocation rate. The primary outcome emotional exhaustion is measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey at baseline, post-intervention, and 1-month follow-up via an online survey. Secondary outcomes include depersonalization, personal accomplishment, subjective stress, mental well-being, self-care, self-efficacy, working conditions, mindfulness, and adverse events. Electrophysiological measures for heart rate variation analysis are captured. The PRECIS-2 tool is used to characterize the degree of pragmatism in our trial. Data analysis and primary intention-to-treat analysis using repeated measures analysis of variance are performed blind to intervention allocation. Per-protocol, subgroup, and secondary outcome analyses are conducted exploratively. An advisory board consisting of various stakeholders accompanies the study process. DISCUSSION: If LAGOM proves to be effective in reducing symptoms of burnout, the program could make an important contribution to tackling the problem of the very high burnout rates among healthcare professionals and become an integral part of preventive services offered by hospitals.

Online yoga programme for resident physicians in Québec: an evaluation of feasibility and impact on mental health.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility of the Bali Yoga Programme for Residents (PYB-R), an 8-week virtual yoga-based intervention and determine its impact on the mental health of resident physicians. DESIGN: Single-group repeated measures study. SETTING: Associations from the four postgraduate medical education programmes in Québec, Canada. PARTICIPANTS: Overall, 55 resident physicians were recruited to participate of which 53 (96.4%) completed the assessment pre-PYB-R. The postintervention assessment was completed by 43 residents (78.2%) and 39 (70.9%) completed all phases (including 3-month follow-up). Most were in their first year (43.4%) or second year (32.1%) of residency. The majority were female (81.1%) with a mean age of 28±3.6 years. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome measure was feasibility as measured by participation in the PYB-R. Secondary outcome measures were psychological variables (anxiety, depression, burn-out, emotional exhaustion, compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction) and satisfaction with the PYB-R. Residents were further subgrouped based on the quality of work life and a number of PYB-R sessions attended. RESULTS: The attrition rate for programme completion was 19%. Of the 43 residents who completed the PYB-R, 90.6% attended between 6 and 8 sessions. Repeated-measures analysis of variances (ANOVAs) at three time points (baseline, PYB-R completion and 3-month follow-up) confirmed a decrease in scores for depression and anxiety, and an increase in scores for compassion satisfaction. No changes were observed in the other psychological variables evaluated. ANOVAs also confirmed that a better quality of life at work helps develop compassion satisfaction, a protective factor to compassion fatigue. Most participants (92.9%) indicated they were satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of the programme. CONCLUSIONS: A virtual yoga-based programme is feasible and has lasting positive effects for up to 3 months on the mental health of resident physicians. Further research is warranted to validate these findings using a larger sample of residents with a control group.

Addressing the 2021 Essentials with new approaches for developing leadership, resilience, and self-care/well-being in undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students.

INTRODUCTION: New graduate nurses are not always prepared for the challenges of the chaotic clinical environment or to exercise leadership skills in a clinical capacity. Resilience and self-care are essential facets of successful leadership, as well as necessary components to prevent burnout in nurses. PURPOSE: The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how this School of Nursing implemented approaches to prepare the next generation of nurses with strong skills in the areas of leadership, resilience, and self-care/well-being while addressing the Essentials. METHODS: Faculty explored new ideas, as well as showcased teaching strategies they had already successfully implemented, that aligned with the Essentials with the undergraduate baccalaureate pilot student cohort. RESULTS: Two "Essential" Competencies, Domain 9 Professionalism and Domain 10 Personal, Professional and Leadership Development, as well as related sub-competencies, were addressed by the thirteen teaching strategies. Anecdotal student reflection comments supported high levels of satisfaction with these strategies. CONCLUSIONS: Preparing student nurses to meet the Essentials is critical to helping nurses thrive in contemporary practice settings. Equipping a generation of nurses with self-care practices to protect their own well-being, while at the same time meeting the Essentials expectations, is crucial to cultivating a sustainable nursing workforce.

The state of wellbeing education across North American medical schools: a scoping review.

Background/Objective: Medical students experience increased rates of burnout and mental illness compared to the general population. Yet, it is unclear to what extent North American medical schools have adopted formal wellbeing curricula. We sought to establish prevailing themes of existing wellbeing educational interventions to identify opportunities for further curricular development. Methods: We conducted a scoping review of the literature to identify wellbeing education programs implemented for undergraduate medical students across North America. We searched four comprehensive databases and grey literature and only included published original research. Two independent researchers screened all papers, with a third resolving disagreements. Two researchers conducted the data extraction using a continuously refined template, with a third researcher resolving any discrepancies. Results: We identified 3996 articles in the initial search of which 30 met inclusion criteria and were included for further analysis. The most common types of interventions were mindfulness and meditation practices. 27 studies found that their wellbeing sessions contributed to positive wellbeing outcomes of learners. Conclusions: Our review identified that there are few wellbeing curricular initiatives that have been evaluated and published in the literature. Additionally, the methodology and rigour of wellbeing curriculum evaluation to date leaves significant room for improvement. The existing literature does suggest that the adoption of a wellbeing curriculum has the potential to improve outcomes for medical students. These findings can be used to assist the development of a validated wellbeing curricular framework for wellbeing initiatives. However, while such a curriculum may represent an effective tool in enhancing medical trainee wellbeing, it cannot effect change in isolation; lasting and meaningful change will require concurrent shifts within the broader systemic framework and cultural fabric of the medical education system.

Contexte/Objectif: Les étudiants en médecine connaissent des taux plus élevés d'épuisement professionnel et de maladie mentale que la population générale. Pourtant, on ne sait pas exactement dans quelle mesure les facultés de médecine nord-américaines ont adopté un curriculum formel sur le bien-être. Nous avons cherché à établir les thèmes dominants des interventions éducatives existantes en matière de bien-être afin d'identifier les possibilités de développement curriculaire. Méthodes: Nous avons procédé à un examen approfondi de la littérature à la recherche de programmes de formation en matière de bien-être mis en œuvre pour les étudiants en médecine de niveau prédoctoral en Amérique du Nord. Nous avons interrogé quatre bases de données exhaustives et la littérature grise et n'avons retenu que les recherches originales publiées. Deux chercheurs indépendants ont examiné tous les articles, un troisième étant chargé de résoudre les éventuels désaccords. Deux chercheurs ont procédé à l'extraction des données en suivant un modèle prédéterminé qui a été affiné de façon itérative, un troisième chercheur étant chargé de résoudre les éventuelles divergences. Résultats: Nous avons identifié 3996 articles lors de la recherche initiale, dont 30 répondaient aux critères d'inclusion et ont été retenus pour une analyse plus approfondie. Les types d'interventions les plus courants étaient les pratiques de pleine conscience et de méditation. Au total, 27 études ont montré que leurs sessions de bien-être contribuaient à des résultats positifs quant au bien-être des apprenants. Conclusions: Notre revue de la littérature actuelle a révélé que peu d'initiatives curriculaires en matière de bien-être ont été évaluées et publiées dans la littérature. En outre, la méthodologie et la rigueur de l'évaluation des curriculum sur le bien-être à ce jour laissent une grande place à l'amélioration. La littérature existante suggère que l'adoption d'un curriculum sur le bien-être peut améliorer les résultats des étudiants en médecine. Ces résultats peuvent être utilisés pour aider au développement d'un cadre validé de curriculum sur le bien-être pour les initiatives dans ce domaine.
