When intraoperative errors occur, surgeons must cope with and recover from the error in both the short- and long-term. This article describes the implementation of the evidence-based STOPS framework (Stop, Talk to your team, Obtain help, Plan, Succeed) to improve resident surgeon coping skills and impact on burnout. Three months after introducing the STOPS framework, women residents reported higher coping self-efficacy, whereas there were no statistically significant differences for men residents. Both genders reported lower levels of burnout.
