Abstract
Background: Many residents report a second victim response following near-miss events during their pediatric anesthesia rotation with consequences for their mental and physical wellbeing. This study investigated the impact of a Better Resident Wellness (BREW) initiative at our tertiary pediatric centre.
Methods: We invited anesthesia residents to complete a survey at the start of their pediatric rotation. Questions included the Second Victim Experience and Support Tool (SVEST). During their rotation, residents attended weekly BREW rounds, a one-hour peer discussion facilitated by a psychologist. They provided feedback in a follow-up survey, including repeat SVEST.
Results: 33/48 (69%) invited residents completed pre- and post-surveys Oct/2021-Feb/2023: all had attended one or more BREW rounds; 32/33 (97%) considered BREW helpful, safe, and would recommend to future residents; perceived benefits included improved morale (30/33, 91%) and clinical care (23/33, 70%). SVEST indicated a second victim response for 17/32 (53%) at the start and 7/32 (22%) at the end of their rotation (odds ratio 0.25, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.82, p = 0.019), with reduced professional self-efficacy concerns (median difference -0.25, 95%CI -0.50 to 0, p = 0.029).
Conclusion: BREW offers anesthesia residents a desirable and beneficial support resource. Other residency programs should consider integrating facilitated peer discussion into their curriculum.
Résumé
Contexte : De nombreux résidents signalent une réaction de deuxième victime à la suite d'événements évités de justesse au cours de leur stage d'anesthésie pédiatrique, ce qui a des conséquences sur leur bien-être mental et physique. Cette étude a évalué l'impact d'une initiative visant à améliorer le bien-être des résidents (BREW) dans notre centre pédiatrique tertiaire.
Méthodes : Nous avons invité les résidents en anesthésie à remplir un questionnaire au début de leur stage en pédiatrie. Les questions comprenaient l'outil de soutien et d'expérience de la deuxième victime (SVEST). Au cours de leur stage, les résidents ont assisté aux séances hebdomadaires BREW, une discussion d'une heure entre pairs animée par un psychologue. Ils ont donné leur avis à l’aide d’un questionnaire de suivi, y compris en répétant l'outil SVEST.
Résultats : 33/48 (69 %) résidents invités ont répondu à des questionnaires préalables et postérieures d'octobre 2021 à février 2023 : tous avaient participé à une ou plusieurs séances de BREW ; 32/33 (97 %) considéraient que BREW était utile et sécuritaire et le recommanderaient à de futurs résidents ; les avantages perçus comprenaient l'amélioration du moral (30/33, 91 %) et des soins cliniques (23/33, 70 %). Le SVEST a démontré une réponse de deuxième victime pour 17/32 (53%) au début et 7/32 (22%) à la fin de leur stage (rapport des cotes 0,25, 95% CI 0,07 à 0,82, p = 0,019), avec une réduction des préoccupations d'auto-efficacité professionnelle (différence médiane -0,25, 95%CI -0,50 à 0, p = 0,029).
Conclusion : BREW offre aux résidents en anesthésie une ressource de soutien souhaitable et bénéfique. D'autres programmes de résidence devraient envisager d'intégrer des discussions facilitées entre pairs dans leur programme d'études.
