Surgeon and Anesthesiologist Well-being: A Tailored Approach

Surgeons and anesthesiologists at an academic medical center completed surveys revealing higher global well-being scores linked to workplace satisfaction and support. Anesthesiologists reported lower satisfaction and control than surgeons. Template analysis identified five intervention areas. Both specialties prioritized patient care, but differed in other priorities. Surgeons’ well-being threats were inefficiencies/delays and workload, while anesthesiologists cited understaffing and unpredictable hours. The study highlights shared needs and synergistic pain points, providing a foundation for tailored interventions.
