Psychological research concerning the impact of adverse events on surgeons, aiming to help improve the psychological wellbeing of surgeons within the UK.






Association of resilience and psychological flexibility with surgeons’ mental wellbeing ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsope… This study examined whether two malleable psychological skills (psychological flexibility and resilience) mediated the relationship between personality traits and mental health in surgeons. Our findings suggest that it is not only a surgeon’s personality that predicts their mental health, but the extent to which a surgeon demonstrates these specific psychological skills. This has important implications for improving surgeons’ mental wellbeing, because psychological skills can be successfully targeted with interventions in a way that personality traits cannot. 👏👏👏Maddy Greville-Harris, Catherine Withers, @agata_wezyk, Kevin Thomas, Helen Bolderston, Amy Kane, Sine McDougall, Kevin J Turner @Surgeons_UK #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @me4_so @BJSAcademy @BJSurgery @young_bjs @juliomayol @JJEarnshaw @OUPMedicine
