Bien-être psychologique du personnel de l'entretien ménager des hôpitaux canadiens, facteurs déterminants et conditions d'influence en temps de pandémie (COVID-19).

Google translate: Housekeeping staff in hospitals are on the front line in the fight against COVID-19, but we talk about them too little. These people expose themselves, put themselves at risk and work tirelessly to ensure the safety of all patients and all hospital staff. They carry a heavy responsibility and experience high psychological stress. Our team of researchers wants to measure the psychological distress of housekeeping workers during COVID-19 but also to collect information on what promotes this distress (personal, organizational, or other factors). We will therefore be interviewing housekeeping workers in several Canadian hospitals by electronic survey, and we will meet with groups of workers to discuss with them to fully understand their concerns. In addition, we will conduct interviews with key people such as managers , or union representatives to discuss the strategies to be put in place at the level of the establishments to prevent the occurrence of this psychological stress. Better understanding what determines the psychological distress of housekeeping workers will inform healthcare institutions to better prevent this distress by modifying their processes. With simple tools to identify this distress, healthcare establishments will also be able to periodically monitor the psychological health of their housekeeping staff and offer them the appropriate services at all times, even away from COVID-19.]
