“…Factors that were perceived as either promoting or undermining of resilience largely mirrored each other. Others have noted similar factors in UK healthcare professionals (Platt et al, 2015;Matheson et al, 2016), and more specifically in medical educators from a U.S. context (DeCastro et al, 2013). Our findings are also consistent with recent arguments that supportive external factors can synergistically work with individual factors to foster resilience (Balme, Gerada and Page, 2015;Matheson et al, 2016;Cheshire et al, 2017;Shanafelt and Noseworthy, 2017).…”

Background: Medical educators have the potential to play an important role in addressing resilience issues across the medical education continuum. Yet, limited research has explored this cohort, particularly in the UK context. This study aims to address this gap by exploring resilience and the factors that relate to resilience in UK medical educators. Methods:A cross-sectional online questionnaire was employed. It contained the validated Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 25 (CD-RISC-25) and Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8), for determining medical educator resilience and depression levels respectively. Sociodemographic characteristics were also collected to identify potential factors associated with resilience. Finally, participants identified factors that facilitated or undermined their resilience through open-ended questions. Data was analysed using quantitative (e.g. multiple regression analysis), and qualitative (i.e. thematic framework analysis) approaches.Results: Among 244 UK participants, the mean CD-RISC-25 score was 72.9 and standard deviation 10.3. The PHQ-8 score was the only significant negative predictor identified (B = -1.22, p < 0.001). Other sociodemographic variables examined were not found to be predictors of CD-RISC-25 scores. Educators identified multidimensional factors influencing their resilience, but predominately viewed internal factors as being supportive, and external factors as undermining. Conclusions:Medical educators in this study had resilience levels that were comparable to other population samples. The study also highlights the importance of considering external factors, such as contextual and sociocultural influences, in addition to individual factors when addressing resilience.

“…Platt et al ( 2015 ) wrote a qualitative paper about a workshop which was planned for general practitioners, comprehending stress management sessions, art or puppetry and mindfulness sessions. This workshop's aim was to help the participants develop a better self-awareness when facing stress situations and identify different ways to manage the stress response.…”

“…In regard of the qualitative studies, most of them investigated the relationship between mindfulness and compassion dispositions with burnout, stress levels, positive workplace relationships, and individualized patients care (Platt et al, 2015 ; Lyddy et al, 2016 ; McPherson et al, 2016 ; Hunter et al, 2018 ; Powell et al, 2018 ). From the examined studies, mindfulness dispositions appeared to be important in the fight against burnout and to manage effectively the stress response (Platt et al, 2015 ). Moreover, HCPs would seem to benefit more from the use of informal practices than from formal ones (Lyddy et al, 2016 ).…”

“…The authors also found some barriers to the full experience of the selfcompassionate and mindful state, which leads to their suggestion of increasing structured mindfulness interventions in HCPs. Platt et al (2015) wrote a qualitative paper about a workshop which was planned for general practitioners, comprehending stress management sessions, art or puppetry and mindfulness sessions. This workshop's aim was to help the participants develop a better self-awareness when facing stress situations and identify different ways to manage the stress response.…”

Mindfulness, Compassion, and Self-Compassion Among Health Care Professionals: What's New? A Systematic Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Health care professionals (HCPs) are a population at risk for high levels of burnout and compassion fatigue. The aim of the present systematic review was to give an overview on recent literature about mindfulness and compassion characteristics of HCPs, while exploring the effectiveness of techniques, involving the two aspects, such as MBSR or mindfulness intervention and compassion fatigue-related programs. A search of databases, including PubMed and PsycINFO, was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and the methodological quality for this systematic review was appraised using AMSTAR-2 (A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews-2). The number of articles that met the inclusion criteria was 58 (4 RCTs, 24 studies with pre-post measurements, 12 cross-sectional studies, 11 cohort studies and 7 qualitative studies). MBSR intervention was effective at improving, and maintaining, mindfulness and self-compassion levels and to improve burnout, depression, anxiety, stress. The most frequently employed interventional strategies were mindfulness-related trainings that were effective at improving mindfulness and self-compassion, but not compassion fatigue, levels. Compassion-related interventions have been shown to improve self-compassion, mindfulness and interpersonal conflict levels. Mindfulness was effective at improving negative affect and compassion fatigue, while compassion satisfaction may be related to cultivation of positive affect. This systematic review summarized the evidence regarding mindfulness-and compassion-related qualities of HCPs as well as potential effects of MBSR, mindfulness-related and compassion-related interventions on professionals' psychological variables like mindfulness, self-compassion and quality of life. Combining structured mindfulness and compassion cultivation trainings may enhance the effects of interventions, limit the variability of intervention protocols and improve data comparability of future research.
