1/ Welcome to Edition 296 of West’s Well-Being Wednesday! Today I’ll focus on a study of well-being domains and suicidal ideation in surgeons @JSurgRes @ReaganACollins @drjessigold Associations of Well-Being Measures With Suicidal Ideation in Surgeons sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

8/ The paper offers a number of specific suggestions for both individual and programmatic efforts that should be explored further Associations of Well-Being Measures With Suicidal Ideation in Surgeons sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

7/ Nurturing training and practice environments that foster professional fulfillment, resilience, self-valuation, and community may offer important benefits to well-being across its entire spectrum

6/ These results are cross-sectional, but they suggest that in addition to addressing depression and other mental health diagnoses there may be complementary opportunities to help reduce suicidal ideation

5/ Respondents with higher loneliness scores: aOR 1.45 for SI (p<.001)

4/ Respondents with higher: Professional fullfillment: aOR 0.51 for SI (p<.001) Resilience: aOR 0.82 (p=.001) Self-valuation: aOR 0.83 (p<.001) – teaser: more on this one next week!
