No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pilot study shows that two hours of weekly protected non-clinical time is associated with decreased burnout and increased well-being in otolaryngology residents

Conditions

  • Stress

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Protected Time Intervention

Participants were assigned two hours of protected, non-clinical time by the chief resident of the service. Chief residents were instructed to assign this time when clinical learning opportunities were lowest. Each participant acted as their own control and was on the intervention phase of the study for the first or last 6 weeks of a quarterly rotation. Residents were concurrently assigned to the same phase of the study (intervention versus control). Participants were not specifically limited in what they could do during their non-clinical time, but they were encouraged to use this time in a way they felt would decrease their own personal burnout and increase their well-being, whether this be performing work-related administrative duties previously done on personal time or fulfilling obligations that are integral to personal health and well-being that can only be completed during normal business hours.
