Abstract

BACKGROUND: Among physicians there is an increased prevalence of stress-associated diseases like depression or burnout and even an increased risk of suicide and drug abuse.

OBJECTIVES: Can interventions among physicians increase resilience and decrease stress? Materials and methods: Systematic review in the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and Embase between 2011 and 2018. The results from four randomized controlled trials were compared.

RESULTS: Interventions can increase resilience and decrease stress among physicians. Especially female physicians and physicians with less professional experience seem to benefit from those interventions.

CONCLUSIONS: Due to the fact that even short interventions already have a positive impact, the implementation should be possible in every hospital. © 2020, The Author(s).
