NOZAR, Fernanda et al. Organizational strategy to improve the medical well-being of an academic gynecology unit in Uruguay. Anfamed [online]. 2024, vol.11, n.2, e501.  Epub 01-Dez-2024. ISSN 2301-1254.  https://doi.org/10.25184/anfamed2024v11n2a12.

Introduction:

Physician well-being has gained relevance in health care, especially in the face of the "burnout epidemic." This study aims to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of a program to improve the well-being of the staff of the Academic Unit of Gynecology and Obstetrics A of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of the Republic, Uruguay.

Method:

A descriptive study was developed following a logical model of program evaluation. An organizational strategy focused on identifying stress factors and promoting well-being was implemented. The intervention included qualitative surveys, focus groups, and the formation of a Well-Being Referent Team (ERB), trained to guide the continuous improvement process.

Results:

Priorities were identified in the dimensions of workload, resources, community at work, organizational culture, and work-life balance. Throughout the process, key actions were implemented to improve the work environment and team effectiveness. The commitment of unit leaders and collaborative work with external consultants were fundamental to the success of the program.

Discussion:

Organizational interventions, although more complex, appear to be more effective in promoting well-being. The changes achieved at this initial stage suggest a positive impact, although long-term monitoring is required to ensure the sustainability of improvements.

Conclusions:

The innovative experience presented offers a roadmap for improving the well-being of health personnel in academic and healthcare contexts, highlighting the importance of leadership and collaboration in these processes.
