Summary: In this evaluation of surgical residency programs in the US, unionized programs offered improved vacation and housing stipend benefits, but resident unions were not associated with improved burnout, suicidality, job satisfaction, duty hour violations, mistreatment, educational environment, or salary.

Summary: This study qualitatively assessed trainee perceptions of resident duty hour (RDH) restrictions on online discussion forums. The findings reveal that blanket RDH restrictions are not applicable to all specialties, and there is an interrelationship between fatigue and patient safety. Additionally, concerns were raised about the lack of transparency and psychological safety surrounding RDH violations.

Summary: To improve wellness among residents, many graduate medical education programs have implemented formal wellness curricula. This review of published literature assessed the core components of wellness curricula in graduate medical education programs. The study found that support from program leadership and opportunities for resident involvement are critical drivers of success. Most curricula included interventions related to both physical and mental health. Curricula including challenging components of professionalisation seemed to foster increased resident buy-in. The most frequently used curricular assessment tools were the Maslach Burnout Inventory and resident satisfaction surveys.

Summary: Burnout and depression are significant issues for physicians, with a high rate of suicide. The ACGME has revised the requirements for residency and fellowship programs to prioritize well-being. Feedback from the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training has led to revisions in the well-being subcompetency.

Summary: This scoping review reveals a limited understanding of the financial implications of surgical resident well-being. Although factors impacting well-being and workplace sequelae were explored, there is a lack of comprehensive business cases for investing in resident well-being from an institutional perspective.

Summary: Tourism research needs to acknowledge recent developments in sustainability theory in order to make conceptual progress and policy advancements. This paper uses critical review method to illustrate the relevance of the capitals approach to sustainable tourism development, with the ultimate objective being human well-being. By distinguishing between weak and strong sustainability, a policy framework is proposed to merge the capitals approach with well-being outcomes and assess the direct and indirect benefits of tourism developments to stakeholders and destination residents. Several challenges have to be addressed to incorporate sustainability principles and practices into tourism policymaking.

Summary: Recognizing the importance of well-being as a primary policy objective, tourism economics needs to incorporate resident well-being outcomes in a more inclusive way. By using a well-being lens, the research effort in tourism economics can convert tourism development impacts into resident well-being outcomes and align with the broader research agenda to measure societal progress.

Summary: Burnout among pharmacy employees can negatively affect patient care quality. This study developed a pharmacy well-being program to address this issue. The program collected ideas from employees through anonymous surveys, and implemented initiatives endorsed by pharmacy leadership. Using the Well-Being Index (WBI), the study measured pharmacist distress scores and found that the well-being program had a positive impact on reducing distress, especially among pharmacy residents.

Summary: This study demonstrates the unique benefits and challenges of adapting an in-house mobile app to facilitate communication and remote rounding during COVID-19. The app showed initial and sustained value among clinicians in communicating with in-patients and each other, supporting social distancing guidelines and providing up-to-date hospital policies. As COVID-19 continues to impact healthcare delivery, user activity metrics suggest the app will remain an important tool in providing safe and current clinical care.

Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationships between eHealth literacy (eHL) and patient portal awareness, use, and attitudes among hospitalized patients. The results showed that low eHL was associated with less awareness, use, and perceived usefulness of portals. Interestingly, although patients' perceived usefulness of portals increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, their eHL did not. Interventions tailored for patients with low eHL could ensure greater equity in health care delivery through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: This study examines the digital divide in video telehealth use among hospitalized patients, focusing on skills and capabilities rather than access. The results show that low eHealth literacy is associated with lack of web-based skills, lower rates of video telehealth usage, and lower willingness to use video technology.
