Work-Life Integration for Surgical Residents Is Discussed in New Podcast Episode

September 24, 2024

Work-Life Integration for Surgical Residents Is Discussed in New Podcast Episode

In the latest episode of The Operative Word from JACS, host Dr. Tom Varghese is joined by Drs. Lauren Janczewski from Northwestern University and Yue-Yung Hu from the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital and Northwestern Quality Improvement, Research, and Education in Surgery.

The guests discuss their recent article, “Contemporary Evaluation of Work-Life Integration and Well-being in US Surgical Residents: A National Mixed-Methods Study,” which found that parents and female residents were more likely to report work-life conflicts, which were associated with career dissatisfaction, burnout, thoughts of attrition, and suicidality. Qualitative data revealed work-life integration interventions include protecting health-maintenance time, supporting life outside of work, and allowing meaningful autonomy in scheduling.
