Many in surgical training experience emotional distress & burnout. Our RCT showed that, while not a cure-all, a short Acceptance & Commitment Therapy based intervention can improve help resilience, values consistency & self-compassion.

16% of women in surgical training reported experiencing unwelcome sexual comments or advances, in the @gmcuk national training survey today. There is considerable work to do to eradicate abhorrent behaviours in our profession.

Here's our new paper showing the importance of learnable psychological skills for surgeons' well-being! This research has informed the @RCSnews SUPPORT Improvement Collaborative.

Association of resilience and psychological flexibility with surgeons’ mental wellbeing
➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zrae…
This study examined whether two malleable psychological skills (psychological flexibility and resilience) mediated the relationship between personality traits and mental health in surgeons. Our findings suggest that it is not only a surgeon’s personality that predicts their mental health, but the extent to which a surgeon demonstrates these specific psychological skills. This has important implications for improving surgeons’ mental wellbeing, because psychological skills can be successfully targeted with interventions in a way that personality traits cannot.
