Workplace related burnout is rampant in medicine. Prevalence is even higher in surgical specialties, higher during various stages of training, and higher still in females in these specialties. There has been a concerted effort by various deliberative bodies to institute policies to combat this. Efforts at institutional levels as well as community levels are encouraged. Some guidelines about techniques individuals can use have been reviewed recently in literature, i.e., resilience training, actively seeking mentorship, advocating for time for self-care, attention to medical needs etc. However, most of the published literature tackles different singular aspects of burnout. For female surgical trainees, we propose a comprehensive approach to tackling burnout. This paper outlines the various causes and the solutions currently in practice and hopes to act as a guide for female surgeons at various stages of their professional lives.
职场相关的职业倦怠在医学领域十分普遍。在外科专业中患病率更高，在培训的各个阶段都较高，而在这些专业的女性中患病率更高。各个审议机构已齐心协力制定政策来应对这一问题。鼓励在机构层面和社区层面做出努力。最近文献中回顾了一些个人可以采用的技巧指南，即恢复力训练、积极寻求指导、争取自我护理时间、关注医疗需求等。然而，大多数已发表的文献只涉及职业倦怠的不同单一方面。对于女性外科实习生，我们提出一种应对职业倦怠的综合方法。本文概述了各种原因以及目前实践中的解决方案，希望能为处于职业生涯不同阶段的女外科医生提供指导。
