Abstract

In a weakened healthcare system, the mental health of healthcare workers has become a priority issue. The aim of this longitudinal study was to assess the mental health of primary care nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic, using a postal survey. Four validated self-report questionnaires were used. The nurses reported mainly burnout symptoms and around 20% reported a post-traumatic stress.

Keywords: Covid-19; burnout; family nurse; infirmier de soins primaires; longitudinal study; mental health nursing; post-traumatic stress; santé mentale; stress; stress post-traumatique; épuisement professionnel; étude longitudinale.
