Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is aiming at investigating whether professional burnout in people involved in the mobile intensive care unit (in French: Element Mobile de Réanimation, EMR) in Mulhouse (France) can be predicted upstream by a low mindfulness level (as a protective factor) or by a dysregulation of stress pathways with a high level of perceived stress towards an emotional event (psychological index of allostatic load), i.e. an early and silent dysfunctional physiological response (measured by the electrophysiological and biological measurements of allostasis load and parasympathetic brake).

It is part of a global approach aiming at identifying levers to prevent the allostatic load of occupational stress related to large-scale health crises.

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

Assessment of work-related stress

Assessment of burnout, mindfulness, interoceptive awareness, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, coping flexibility and sleep through questionnaires.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Saliva sample collection

Saliva sample is collected before and after emotional stimulation in order to measure resting-state allostatic load biomarkers: DHEA, cortisol and chromogranine A levels

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Cardiac and electrodermal recordings

Electrocardiogram and electrodermal activity (tonic and phasic) is collected at rest and after emotional stimulation.

Intervention Type OTHER

Assessment of behavioral response to emotional stimulation

Emotional stimulation involves asking the participants to remember a recent event related to the COVID-19 crisis that has been emotionally difficult for them.

Perceived stress, situational awareness and emotions is assessed after emotional stimulation through questionnaires.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL
