In addition, these emotional strains have impacted professional performance and career satisfaction, which poses significant challenges to the profession and patient outcomes. Cognitive flexibility (CF) is a cognitive-behavioral tool that is well-known for scaffolding resilience, encouraging self-awareness, and ameliorating workplace stressors and burnout.
