Detailed Description
The prospective, pragmatic cluster-randomized controlled trial will include approximately 320 surgical training programs across the United States. Participating programs will be randomized to the intervention or control arm. The intervention arm (vs. control) will receive program-specific reports about their learning environment and residents' well-being, as well as access to a Wellness Toolkit of ready-to-implement interventions. We will provide implementation support help facilitate and support intervention uptake throughout the trial period.
To assess the individual efficacy of the reports in regards to decreasing rates of mistreatment and toxic outcomes, the reports will be given to programs approximately 2 months to 6 months prior to Toolkit dissemination. Prior to Toolkit dissemination, programs will have the opportunity to fully review the report, form internal teams to address the issues, and mobilize necessary resources in preparation for receiving the Toolkit. A comprehensive list of all activities performed after report dissemination will be kept at a program-level. Toolkit dissemination to intervention programs will occur within 6 months of report dissemination. Coaching webinars and in-person/virtual conferences will be held at a variety of time points during the trial. The control arm will continue to perform their normal educational (including potential wellness) activities.
The investigators will compare multiple outcomes between the two study arms using data collected from an annual resident survey.
Extension of this work is anticipated to surgical subspecialty training programs (e.g., vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery). Eligible subspecialty programs will be assigned as per the randomization scheme of corresponding general surgery programs at their institution. Similar protocols will be in place for surgical subspecialties, with modifications to investigate specialty-specific survey items and interventions.

Experimental: Intervention Arm
The intent of the intervention arm is to provide programs with data and resources to inform and improve surgical learning environments and resident wellness.
|
If a hospital/program is assigned to the intervention arm, they will receive numerous resources including a program-specific learning environment and resident well-being report, a Wellness Toolkit, coaching webinars, and in-person/virtual conferences to help improve their surgery learning environment and residents' well-being.
