Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In this context, numerous stress factors that can have psychological consequences on the professionals and their effectiveness at work are inherent in intensive care (Donchin, 2002; Tummers et al., 2002).
In numerous studies, perceived stress proves to be more predictive of the subsequent health state of the individual than real stress (Consoli et al., 2001). More precisely, the authors have shown the influence of perceived stress on mental health (Ramirez et al., 1996b), psychical health (Chang et al., 2007), burnout (Bourbonnais et al., 1999), job dissatisfaction (Golbasi et al., 2008), absenteeism (Hackett \& Bycio, 1996), turnover (Hayes et al., 2006) and more recently on the security of care (Endacott, 2012).
Identifying the factors of perceived stress is important in terms of mental health at work and the security of care. Studies on perceived stress have made it possible to elaborate stress scales specific to each profession (Borteyrou et al., 2013), with the aim of being as close as possible to the professionals' experience. However, to our knowledge, no stress scale for intensive care units has been published.
This study aims to construct and validate an international professional perceived stress scale specific to intensive care units: the PS-ICU Scale (Perceived Stressors in Intensive Care Units). Secondary objectives: To identify the factors of perceived stress having an impact on mental health, job satisfaction and the quality of care. To measure the impact of cultural and organizational dimensions on perceived stress in intensive care specific to each country. To measure the impact of socio-demographic variables on perceived stress. To measure the impact of coping abilities on perceived stress.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
France
10 senior physicians, 10 interns, 10 experienced nurses (with more than one year of experience in the service) and 10 inexperienced nurses (with less than one year of experience in the service)
interviews
Each subject will be asked to participate in an individual semidirective interview lasting about 40 minutes on the theme of the stress factors encountered in intensive care. All of the interviews will be audio-taped, transcribed and anonymized. The participants will also have to answer a socio-demographic questionnaire (sex, age, socio-professional category, speciality in intensive care, working hours, family situation, training, diplomas, length of time in the service).
Italy
10 senior physicians, 10 interns, 10 experienced nurses (with more than one year of experience in the service) and 10 inexperienced nurses (with less than one year of experience in the service)
