Abstract
Background: Urology trainees experience high burnout, and there is an urgent need for acceptable and effective interventions. The current study evaluated Reboot coaching workshops (Reboot-C), a tailored intervention based on cognitive-behavioural principles, with urology trainees. Objective: Our primary objective was to evaluate the acceptability of Reboot-C among urology trainees. In addition, this study aimed to investigate whether there were changes in confidence, resilience, depression and burnout levels. Materials and method: A single-arm design was used, including pre- and post-online questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Result: Twenty-one urology trainees replied to the survey, attended both Reboot-C workshops and responded to the post-intervention questionnaire. Thirteen of 21 (61%) urology trainees participated in the interview. Participating in Reboot-C was associated with significant improvements in resilience and confidence and a significant reduction in burnout. However, there was no significant reduction in depression. Qualitative data indicated that Reboot was acceptable and helped participants develop useful skills. Conclusion: These findings pave the way for more conclusive studies on the efficacy of Reboot-C for surgeons.
TL;DRReboot coaching workshops (Reboot‐C) is evaluated, a tailored intervention based on cognitive–behavioural principles, with urology trainees, and it is found that it helps trainees experience high burnout. (Semantic Scholar)
