Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One-third to one-half of practicing physicians today meet burnout criteria, with significant consequences for themselves, their patients, and the healthcare systems in which they operate.
However, it is important to examine why those remaining physicians have not experienced burnout. Health professional resilience, defined as the capacity to respond to stress in a healthy way such that goals are achieved at minimal psychological and physical cost, has been identified as a key to enhancing quality of care and the sustainability of the healthcare workforce. The Special Issue will focus on examining in detail the concept of health professional resilience in the post-COVID-19 era.
We welcome the submission of papers coming from different countries and involving a variety of methodological approaches. Papers examining the following will be accepted for review in this Special Issue:
- Factors (individual and organizational) contributing to health professional resilience;
- Interventions aimed at enhancing health professional well being and resilience;
- Linking health professional resilience to patient safety indicators;
- Linking health professional resilience to performance indicators;
- Work–family balance, and health behaviors of health professionals.
