Aim: The impact of physician burnout is becoming apparent in the medical community, especially among anesthesiologists and young physicians. Anesthesia residents will experience emotionally charged adverse events during their training. The objective was to determine the prevalence, efficacy and utilization of support structures in place for residents following adverse events in order to develop a best-practices model of resident support.
Methods: We sent an anonymous internet-based survey to program directors (PDs) at all American College of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-approved Anesthesia Residency programs, with an optional secondary survey of residents.
Results: There was a 53% response rate among PDs with most reporting resource availability. The strongest support programs were the anesthesia support programs, morbidity and mortality (M&M) conference, and "individual meetings with department leadership." These results were mirrored in the responses of residents at the 32 programs who opted to participate in the secondary survey. Both also cited M&M conference as being highly utilized, but not efficacious. The strongest support programs had a low prevalence.
Conclusions: These data suggest that a best-practices model of resident support entails establishing a department-based support program, facilitating comfortable meetings with departmental leadership and optimizing M&M conference.

Background: Housecleaning work has been characterized as precarious employment with unstable work hours, arbitrary and low pay and benefits, and exposures to chemical, physical, and psychosocial stressors. Understanding how interpersonal power dynamics between workers and clients, a component of precarious work, contributes to work exposures can inform and improve prevention programs.
Methods: We used reflexive thematic analysis of data from seven focus groups with Latinx immigrant housecleaners in New York City to explore workers' experience of interpersonal power dynamics with their clients-whom they referred to as their "employers"-and its influences on working conditions.
