What Do We Mean by Physician Wellness? A Systematic Review of Its Definition and Measurement.

CONCLUSIONS: Conceptualizations of physician wellness varied widely, with greatest emphasis on negative moods/emotions (e.g., burnout). Clarity and consensus regarding the conceptual definition of physician wellness is needed to advance the development of valid and reliable physician wellness measures, improve the consistency by which the construct is operationalized, and increase comparability of findings across studies. To guide future physician wellness assessments and interventions, the authors propose a holistic definition. PMID: 28913621 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
