Traditionally characterized as emotional and physical exhaustion following sustained empathic engagement, emerging research suggests that CF involves deeper disruptions to belief systems and professional identity formation (PIF), alongside an interplay with other trauma-related strain including secondary traumatic stress (STS) and vicarious trauma (VT) within the broader \u2018cost of caring\u2019 framework. However, such conceptual understanding remains fragmented and poorly synthesized in physician populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This systematic scoping review (SSR) maps existing literature on CF, STS and VT among physicians in adult medical specialties, using the Ring Theory of Personhood to examine their defining features, exacerbating and mitigating factors, and existing interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This SSR employed the modified Systematic Evidence-Based Approach that integrates human and AI-based resources.

CF, STS and VT encompass moral, cognitive, relational and identity-related dimensions that shape belief systems and PIF. Sharing overlapping features, these constructs sit along a continuum, where early features of CF\u2014including exhaustion, depersonalization and boundary erosion\u2014may progress toward STS\u2019 characteristic post-traumatic stress-type intrusions. Unaddressed, these acute reactions can evolve into enduring cognitive and existential alterations denoting VT. This trajectory can be interrupted by individual and environmental protective factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n
