“…A decrease in stress and burnout has been documented in medical residents who participated in resilience and well‐being training 23 . Pharmacy residency, physician trainee, and health care student programs are beginning to address the stress and burnout of their trainees with targeted well‐being training programs, however such resources for pharmaceutical industry fellows are not widely available 12,24,25 . The lower than average resilience scores and common stressors reported in Table 2 suggest resiliency training, well‐being programs, and other targeted support resources could be of benefit to this population.…”

“…It has been established that pharmacy residents experience more perceived stress than their general population peers 6–11 . Currently, mindfulness and resilience training for medical and pharmacy residents is being studied as an intervention to address trainee stress, depression, burnout, and psychological distress 12,13 . The American Society of Health‐System Pharmacists (ASHP) has also identified numerous well‐being and resilience resources targeted at pharmacy residents to provide positive coping strategies to help alleviate these stressors 14…”

Introduction It has been determined that pharmacy residents experience high levels of perceived stress; however, the extent of stress perceived by pharmaceutical industry fellows has not been quantified. This study examined the level of perceived stress academic‐affiliated postgraduate pharmaceutical industry fellows experience, along with identification of what types of stressors they experience, possible factors associated with higher levels of perceived stress, and the state of resilience skills in this population. Methods A multi‐item survey instrument was created to collect information about fellow demographics, perceived stress using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS‐10), major stressors, and resilience skills using the brief Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale (CD‐RISC‐10). Postgraduate year one (PGY1) and postgraduate year two (PGY2) industry‐affiliated pharmaceutical fellows at programs with academic collaborations through Rutgers University Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS), and Purdue University College of Pharmacy were invited to complete the anonymous survey instrument from March to May 2022. Results A total of 83 complete responses were received, for a response rate of 21.4%. The mean PSS‐10 score for fellows was 14.8 (SD, 5.7). For resilience, the mean CD‐RISC‐10 score was 29.0 (SD, 5.2). No relationships were found between fellow demographics, perceived stress, and resilience skills. Fellows reported experiencing stress caused by work role/responsibilities (72.3%), personal/physical stressors (68.7%), work environment (37.3%), and home environment (28.9%) in the past month. The top reported coping strategies were exercising/sports (65.1%), spending time with family/friends (48.2%), and watching television (33.7%). Conclusion Academic‐affiliated pharmaceutical industry fellows reported a moderate level of perceived stress and lower resilience levels than the general population. Results from this research will be used to develop a customized wellness initiative to support pharmaceutical industry fellows.

“… 1 Swanson and Schweiss 8 found that implementing resilience programming into the pharmacy postgraduate year (PGY) 1 training was valuable for 90% of the 28 pharmacy residents surveyed. 8 Whereas there have been studies evaluating the impact of well-being on pharmacists, pharmacy residents, program directors, and student pharmacists, there have yet to be any literature on the impact of a pandemic on pharmacy resident wellness at the time of this submission. 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 …”

“…This kind of reflection has been cited as a valuable way to foster resiliency in pharmacy students and residents. [4][5][6] By demonstrating that reflection ourselves, we model for our students a skill they can use as they face their own challenges.…”

Each of us knows that life involves challenges, and times that are difficult to get through. It can be argued that getting through those difficulties makes us stronger, and more resilient to future difficulties that inevitably lie ahead. While getting through difficult times, we learn new strategies for success, new problem solving skills, or even just that we are stronger and more durable than we may have thought. Over the past year and more, we have all been living with massive disruptions of our lives -personal, professional and educational. When living through a challenge becomes the marathon we have all been experiencing since early 2020, it is reasonable to feel put upon by the universe. Being angry, sad, frightened, exhausted and anxious are all completely normal and indeed reasonable responses to what we have been going through. Accepting that life involves ups and downs does not mean we are ready for such long-lasting stress. Despite everything that is going on, people still must earn a living and take care of their family, children still must learn how to take their place in the world, and the cooperation required for a successful human society still must continue.In the face of life-disrupting events, there are some people who handle difficulty better and seem less disrupted on a day-to-day basis. There are several possible explanations for this resilience. They may have gone through something similar already, and as a result are more confident that they will get through a new challenge. There have been reports that older folk tend to be maintaining their spirits during the pandemic better than those who are younger, perhaps in part due to more life experience and thus more chances to have practiced overcoming challenges. 1 Some people also may be inherently more positive in their outlook on life, and therefore be harder to throw off kilter when things go wrong. We all know someone who somehow keeps a bright outlook despite whatever is going on around them. Depending on our own personality, these people may help us feel more positive as well, or they may frustrate us with their "overly optimistic" outlook. Or the people who are less bothered by events around them may have developed skills they can use when facing a challenge, which helps them maintain a sense that things aren't quite that bad yet. We don't have control over how old and experienced we are, and except in limited circumstances can usually make only small changes in our basic personality and temperament. However, we can all learn skills related to how we think about a situation and direct the reaction we have to what is happening.Two studies of satisfaction in Olympic medalists examine one of these skills: counterfactual thinking, or the comparison of actual events to what could have happened. Both studies examined the initial responses of medal winners to determine how satisfied they were with the outcome of their event. Although gold medalists were the most satisfied as a group, the bronze medalists were determined to be more satisfied t...
