Mental Health and Well-being amongst Healthcare Professionals in Clinical Training

Abstract

Healthcare workers in clinical training are at a high risk of stress and burnout due to their dual clinical practice and academic components. The psychosocial clinical environment and personality traits contribute to healthcare workers' increased risk of psychological distress. The two-dimensional circumplex proposed by the complete state model of mental health suggests that people with mental illness symptoms can have mental well-being and are seen as traversing the circumplex from floundering to flourishing. Poverty is a significant predictor of mental illness, and COVID-19 has been linked to poorer mental health. The WHO's Global Mental Health Report identifies three paradigm-shifting strategies for enhancing mental health, including elevating those who are impacted and reshaping social and living conditions. The United Nation's action plan is to achieve sustainable health goals for 2030. The aim is to improve leadership and governance, responsive and integrated care, strategies for promotion and prevention, and the use of evidence and research to improve mental health.
