Summary

The French Armed Forces Health Service caregivers are confronted with specific operational constraints that require physiological adaptation on a daily basis. These constraints generate an allostatic load resulting from the body's adaptation to the environment through stress response systems. The COVID-19 health crisis has modified the physical and psychological constraints linked to usual activity, in particular by imposing versatility to caregivers. The research hypothesis is that carers who have undergone activity reorganisations, and in particular a change of service, are more affected by the health crisis than those who have remained in their service and have continued an activity close to their usual practice.
