“…A significant increase in resilience was found between pre-test and follow up. Consistent with the present results, a short-term increase in resilience was found among forty-four participants who engaged in six weekly mind-body intervention sessions [ 34 ]. Similarly, a study found that after engaging in a 9 week mind-body intervention, 279 students showed a significant increase in resilience and mindfulness, compared to 247 students who did not engage in the intervention [ 35 ].…”

“…It is worth noting that one advantage of the WeActive and WeMindful intervention programs was their virtual delivery. Participants in Lowenthal et al expressed that virtual delivery would have increased conveniency for busy individuals, possibly by cutting down on travel time [ 34 ]. The participants in the WeActive and WeMindful groups had the added benefit of the second weekly session to be asynchronous.…”

This study aimed to examine the immediate and short-term effects of aerobic and resistance training (WeActive) and mindful exercise (WeMindful) virtual interventions in improving physical activity (PA) and resilience among college students. Participants were 55 students who were randomly assigned to either the WeActive group (n = 31) or the WeMindful group (n = 24). Both groups attended two virtual 30 min aerobic and resistance training sessions (WeActive) or mindful exercise sessions (WeMindful) per week for eight weeks. All participants completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) via Qualtrics one week prior to (pre-test) and after the intervention (post-test) and 6 weeks after the intervention (follow up). There was a significant main effect of time for resilience (F = 3.4.15, p = 0.024), where both the WeActive group and the WeMindful group significantly increased the resilience scores from pre-test to follow up (t = −2.74, p = 0.02; t = −2.54, p = 0.04), respectively. For moderate physical activity (MPA), there was a significant interaction effect of time with group (F = 4.81, p = 0.01, η2 = 0.038), where the WeActive group significantly increased MPA over time from pre-test to follow-up test as compared to the WeMindful group (t = −2.6, p = 0.033). Only the WeActive intervention was effective in increasing MPA. Both interventions were effective in increasing resilience from pre-test to 6 week follow up.

“…But it can also be the effect of protective factors such as having more time to spend on reading/didactics, hobbies, or family/significant others due the reduction in usual clinical work or taking advantage of this period to carry out scientific work ( 28 , 34 ). Either way, the pandemic situation has highlighted the importance of implementing wellness programs in institutions and their maintenance during times of health crisis ( 47 , 48 ).…”

IntroductionThe high prevalence of burnout in resident physicians is expected to have increased as a result of the expansion of the pandemic. We conducted a systematic review with a meta-analysis of studies conducted during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on burnout in residents and potential associated risk factors.MethodsThe search was done in the Web of Science, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Lillac databases (April 2020–October 2021) using a priori protocol based on the PRISMA guidelines. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to assess the risk of bias in the included studies. We estimated the pooled prevalence (95% CI) of burnout and the prevalence ratio (95% CI) of each risk factor associated.ResultsWe included 23 studies from 451 potential initial articles and those written in the English language; all of the collected studies were cross-sectional with anonymous online surveys, involving 4,998 responders (34%), of which 53.2% were female responders, 51% were R1-2, and 71% were in direct contact with COVID-19 patients. Eighty-seven percent presented a low-to-moderate risk of bias. Publication bias was not shown. The estimated pooled prevalence of burnout was 40% (95% CI = 0.26 – 0.57). Burnout was associated with psychiatry history (PR = 4.60, 95% CI = 1.06 – 20.06). There were no differences by gender, civil status, children in-charge, year of residency, or time exposure to COVID-19.DiscussionThe overall prevalence of burnout in residents during the first wave of the pandemic was in line with the results described in this collective before the pandemic. The presence of a psychiatry history was a potential burnout risk factor, suggesting a high vulnerability during the peak of the stress period and the need to implement mental health surveillance for this subgroup.

“…Multiple studies have described improvement in symptoms of burnout, musculoskeletal pain, and psychological well-being among health-care workers, as well as demonstrating the feasibility of habitual yoga practice within a workday. [ 23 24 25 26 27 28 ] For example, Babbar et al . describe outcomes of a yoga-based initiative among resident physicians and report significantly reduced feelings of depersonalization (a common symptom of burnout), increased feelings of camaraderie and motivation, improved quality and duration of sleep, as well as significant reductions in blood pressure compared to peer nonparticipants.…”

Yoga as an Adjunct Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain and Burnout in Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgeons face significant physical and psychosocial stressors during their training as surgical residents and throughout their career. Aside from occupational hazards intrinsic to the profession, two notable and treatable concerns are musculoskeletal pain and emotional burnout, which have a reported prevalence as high as 97% and 56%, respectively, among orthopedic residents. Management of musculoskeletal pain and burnout is essential for promoting surgeon well being, education, and longevity as well as avoiding medical errors and compromises to patient care. This perspective manuscript describes the occupational challenges faced by orthopedic surgeons and promotes a habitual practice of yoga as an adjunct therapy for managing musculoskeletal pain and emotional burnout, and furthermore, introduces the need to reconsider gendered perceptions surrounding orthopedics and the practice of yoga in a profession largely comprised of men.
