Abstract

Many rising issues within the healthcare industry were highlighted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout among healthcare professionals, increasing rates of lifestyle-related chronic illness, and lack of emphasis on professional self-care have contributed to a continued crisis within healthcare organizations. Numerous organizational and systemic issues have been combined with societal norms to create an unsustainable healthcare system operating on mechanisms of disease management versus of health promotion. This chapter aims to address the factors contributing to the overall health of healthcare professionals and proposed solutions to these issues through an integrative resilience model consisting of lifestyle medicine and positive psychology.
