"Hey, can I go home?": a qualitative case study of wellbeing and the work environment in surgical training.
Article in Korean journal of medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeSurgical trainees are at high risk of burnout and poor wellbeing during their training. A range of workplace factors have been linked to poor wellbeing, including excessive work hours, lack of support networks, and training program demands. However, little is understood about the individual experiences of Australian trainees and their perceptions of the impact of the work environment on wellbeing. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of Australian surgical trainees regarding their wellbeing in the surgical learning environment.
methodsEleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with Australian surgical trainees at the start of their training and 18 months later, exploring their perspectives of wellbeing in the workplace. Results were analyzed thematically using the Job Demands-Resources model as a scaffold.
resultsSeven themes emerged: (1) relationships with colleagues, (2) work hours and workload, (3) the learning environment and supervision, (4) training program requirements, (5) moving around, (6) hospital and team administration, and (7) hospital facilities and programs. Participant experiences between training commencement and 18 months follow-up did not change.
conclusionTrainees have unique experiences of wellbeing in the workplace. Some workplace factors, such as relationships with colleagues, can be demands or resources depending on their nature. Effective leadership and administrative practices, mentorship, and proactive rostering act as resources for trainees to balance workplace demands, and these should be prioritized by hospitals and training institutions to improve and protect trainee wellbeing.
