Acad Radiol 2024; 31:1130-1140. [PMID: 37945493 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2023.09.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To evaluate wellness among interventional radiologists using a multidimensional survey. MATERIALS AND METHODS An anonymous 53-item survey, including 36 Perceived Wellness Survey (PWS) prompts, was created in Qualtrics (an online survey tool) to assess wellness among interventional radiology attendings and residents. The survey was open from June to September, 2022, 2 years into the COVID-19 Pandemic. The survey was distributed via Society of Interventional Radiology Forums, social media (Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook), and personal correspondence. PWS scores were categorized into Wellness Composite and subscores (physical, emotional, intellectual, psychological, social, and spiritual). RESULTS 367 surveys were completed. 300 (81.7%) respondents were male and 67 (18.3%) were female. Respondents included attending physicians (297; 81.0%) and residents (70; 19.0%). Practice settings included academic (174; 47.4%), private (114; 31.0%), private-academic hybrid (62; 16.9%), and others (17; 4.7%). Mean Wellness Composite at academic centers (14.74 ± 3.16; range: 5.42-23.50) was significantly lower than at private (15.22 ± 3.37; range: 6.13-23.51) and hybrid (16.14 ± 2.47; range: 10.20-23.50) practices (p = 0.01). Respondents < 40 years old had significantly lower emotional wellness subscores compared to those ≥ 40 years old (4.34 ± 0.86 vs. 4.60 ± 0.87; p = 0.006). There were no significant differences between geographic regions in the United States, however, International respondents had significantly lower social and intellectual wellness (INT) subscores. Physical wellness subscore (4.00 ± 0.9) was significantly lower than the other subscores (4.59 ± 0.81) (p < .001). Overall mean Wellness Composite was 15.11 ± 3.13 (range: 5.42-23.51). CONCLUSION Overall self-reported wellness was lower among interventional radiologists practicing at academic centers. Interventional Radiologists < 40 years old and residents had lower emotional wellness, while international respondents had lower social and INT. Overall wellness scores were lower than prior PWS studies.

[PMID: 37589905 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09986-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the prevalence of burnout among radiology residents. METHOD Five databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO, and Scopus) were searched for studies reporting burnout in radiology residents for the period up to November 7, 2022. RESULTS A total of 423 studies were identified, and eventually, 16 studies were selected for the qualitative analysis, of which 11 studies were used in the meta-analysis. There was a total of 2164 radiology residents. Six studies reported the prevalence of burnout but the data could not be pooled due to their inconsistent definitions of burnout. The mean scores of three burnout subscales indicated a moderate to high degree of severity: emotional exhaustion = 25.2 (95% CI, 22.1-28.3; I2 = 94.4%), depersonalization = 10.2 (95% CI, 8.5-11.9; I2 = 93.0%), and low perception of personal accomplishment = 32.9 (95% CI, 30.5-35.4; I2 = 94.4%). The pooled prevalence of high-degree emotional exhaustion was 49.9% (95% CI, 43.6-56.1%; I2 = 55.7%), high-degree depersonalization was 45.1% (95% CI, 38.3-52.0%; I2 = 63.2%), and high-degree diminished personal accomplishment was 58.2% (95% CI, 36.0-77.6%; I2 = 84.9%). The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on radiology residents was not investigated. In addition, there are inconsistent findings on the effects of female sex, seniority, and social support on burnout. CONCLUSIONS About half of the radiology residents showed at least one of the three burnout manifestations (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment), with a moderate to high degree of severity. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Such a high prevalence and severity of burnout among radiology residents warrant the attention of residency program directors. KEY POINTS • Burnout, not uncommon among radiology residents, has not been effectively analyzed. • Nearly half of the radiology residents experience at least one of the three manifestations of burnout to a moderate to high degree. • The high prevalence and severe degree of burnout among radiology residents warrant the attention of residency program directors.

Intersectionality and COVID-19: Academic Medicine Faculty's Lived Experiences of Well-Being, Workload, and Productivity During the Pandemic. J Womens Health (Larchmt) 2023; 32:1351-1362. [PMID: 37930683 DOI: 10.1089/jwh.2023.0045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to utilize an intersectional framework to examine academic faculty's lived experiences during COVID-19. Specifically, we set out to: (1) describe the multiple intersectional identities (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, rank, caregiver status, disability status) represented by the faculty, (2) examine potential disparities in well-being, workload, and productivity linked to these intersectional factors, and (3) identify qualitative themes endorsed by faculty as they relate to lived experiences during COVID-19. Methods: This was a cross-sectional mixed-methods research study. The Center for Women in Medicine and Science (CWIMS) at the University of Minnesota developed and implemented a survey between February-June of 2021 in response to national reports of disparities in the impacts of COVID-19 on faculty with lived experiences from multiple intersections. Results: There were 291 full-time faculty who participated in the study. Quantitative findings indicated that faculty with multiple intersectional identities (e.g., woman+assistant professor+caregiver+underrepresented in medicine) reported greater depression symptoms, work/family conflict, and stress in contrast to faculty with fewer intersectional identities. Furthermore, faculty with more intersectional identities reported higher clinical workloads and service responsibilities and lower productivity with regard to research article submissions, publications, and grant submissions in contrast to faculty with fewer intersectional identities. Qualitative findings supported quantitative findings and broadened understanding of potential underlying reasons. Conclusions: Findings confirm anecdotal evidence that faculty with lived experiences from multiple intersections may be disproportionately experiencing negative outcomes from the pandemic. These findings can inform decisions about how to address these disparities moving into the next several years with regard to promotion and tenure, burnout and well-being, and faculty retention in academic medical settings. Given these findings, it is also important to intentionally plan responses for future public health crises to prevent continued disparities for faculty with multiple intersectional identities.

Abstract
Since its beginning in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed an exceptionally high number of victims and brought significant disruption to the personal and professional lives of millions of people worldwide. Among medical specialists, radiologists have found themselves at the forefront of the crisis due to the pivotal role of imaging in the diagnostic and interventional management of COVID-19 pneumonia and its complications. Because of the disruptive changes related to the COVID-19 outbreak, a proportion of radiologists have faced burnout to several degrees, resulting in detrimental effects on their working activities and overall wellbeing. This paper aims to provide an overview of the literature exploring the issue of radiologists' burnout in the COVID-19 era.

Abstract
Interventional Radiology residency training programs experienced significant impacts secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prospective resident recruitment and resident education were particularly affected due to limitations on in-person gatherings in effort to curb exposure. Finding ways to mitigate the pandemic's effect on recruitment and education was a challenge faced by residency programs across the nation. This article discusses a single Interventional Radiology program's approach to adapting to the reality of limited interpersonal interaction as well as efforts to maintain engagement for resident recruitment and education in a virtual setting.
