Burnout Among Caregivers Facing COVID-19 Health Crisis at a Non-conventional Intensive Care Unit Compared to a Conventional Intensive Care Unit

April 15, 2020 updated by: HARKOUK Hakim, Hôpital Raymond Poincaré
The intense health crisis due to COVID-19 led to a profound reorganization of the activities at theatres, recovery rooms and the intensive care units. The caregivers are facing several issues and are daily exposed to an intensification of the work. Assessing the stress and the well-being of the caregivers is very important in this context.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The current period of intense and prolonged health crisis has necessitated a profound reorganization of the activities and organizations of the intensive care hospital services in order to be able to cope with it.

Caregivers are at the heart of the management of this crisis and are exposed daily to these situations of repeated emergencies, an intensification of the pace of work and difficulties in care.

In this context, it seemed important to us to try to quantify this pressure of care, in order to be able to offer in second care adapted to caregivers who would like it.

The assessment of the mental state of the caregivers as well as the collection of the feelings and perceptions on the current crisis and its management will be carried out by anonymous and voluntary self-questionnaire in collaboration with the service of professional pathologies and occupational medicine of the hospital structure
