About

The COVID-19 outbreak has been categorized as a pandemic and declared an international public health emergency by WHO. In this context, an exceptional mobilization and a complete reorganization of the organization of the healthcare offer was put in place.The investigators will study the psychological consequences among emergency department (ED) / SAMU (Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente) professionals exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic to high psychological stress due to work overload, changes in practices and fears of contamination.They will evaluate at 9 and 12 months after the end of the second lockdown (July December 2020), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), personal and professional stress, anxiety and depression, burn-out and consumption of anxiolytic products. This is a multi-center study and includes doctors, DE interns and nurses, other paramedics and medical regulatory assistants working in one of the ED or SAMU working during phase 3 of the COVID-19 pandemic. It should make it possible to know the psychological load of the months following the epidemic among health professionals who worked in emergencies during this period and to understand their risk of occurrence of PTSD. These elements are also essential to improve the management of health crises and to put in place preventive measures for health professionals, in particular in anticipation of recurrences, second wave or future new episode.
