Monitor Your Own Pulse • Leave Control in the OR • Respect Boundaries • 4. Learn to Ask for Help
Low-tech Audience Response! • Do you know of someone in anesthesia found to be diverting controlled medications? • Do you know of someone who has died of a drug overdose who is in a healthcare related field?
Prevalence of Burnout in Residents and Physicians in Practice • Burnout rates of 30 to 76% seen across 15 studies of residents: multiple years, types of programs, US and International teaching hospitals represented (Thomas, 2004) • Similar burnout rates among physicians in practice (Chopra et al., 2004) • 46-80% moderate to high EE • 22-93% moderate to high DP • 16-79% moderate to low PA • Lower rates of burnout among academic physicians (Tait, 2003) • 37-47% burnout in academic physicians vs. 60% burnout in physicians in private practice
Physicians in Training and Practice vs. General Population • Higher rates of burnout, stress • Similar to higher rates of depression • Similar rates of substance abuse • Higher rates of suicides—especially for women • 300 to 400 physician suicides (Center et al., 2003; Shanafelt et al., 2012)

Positive Outcomes (Ey, Moffit, Kinzie, Choi & Girard, 2013) • 88% of OHSU residents, fellows (N = 448; 71%) knew about our program • 87% OHSU residents, fellows “somewhat to very willing” to seek counseling • Utilization rate (new cases per yr) from 5% to 17% in 8 yrs • 93.9% of clients “very or mostly satisfied” • PDs satisfied w/ referral process/consult
Barriers Still Exist (Ey, Moffit, Kinzie, Choi & Girard, 2013)
“Reaching Out” Research Aims • IRB approved study, funded by GME • Suicide prevention among medical residents, fellows, and SOM faculty by: • Reducing risk factors of untreated depression and substance use, hopelessness and isolation • Increasing protective factors of greater self-awareness, strong coping skills, increased connection, and access to effective MH treatment if needed
Stress and Depression Survey • We invite all OHSU residents, fellows and School of Medicine faculty to participate in this important new physician wellness initiative. Please take the OHSU Stress and Depression Survey. Click on this link: https://www.ohsuwellness.org/welcome.cfm
Invitation to Take Stress and Depression Survey • User can take the Stress & Depression Survey by creating a self-assigned User ID and Password(encrypted) • The User ID is the only way user is known to our clinicians • Only aggregate data reported
Our Clinician Response &Dialogue • User may provide an email address to be notified when our team’s response is posted or sign back on to the ISP site • User’s email address is encrypted to protect identity, not known to anyone, including our clinical team • Our clinician responds with feedback, resources, offer to meet in person if appropriate
Pilot with OHSU SOM Trainees/FacultyApril-June 2014 • Response rate: 23% (N=91) • 78% of OHSU users reviewed clinician response • 16% of OHSU users dialogued with clinician • High distress: 15% • Suicidal ideation in past 2 weeks: 6% • Due to survey, sought treatment at RFWP: 12% • “realized that I needed to take better care of myself” • “survey made it easier to come in”
Strategy to keep our team members safe • Encourage balanced approach to life • Readily available counseling within department and OHSU • More stringent monitoring of pharmacy transactions and returned medications • More realistic guidelines for testing for drug use.
