Summary

Anxiety is common among healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, who are faced with major responsibilities and stressful situations. In psychiatric settings, this stress is exacerbated by exposure to patients with serious mental disorders (schizophrenia, bipolarity, personality disorders), who are often unpredictable and sometimes violent. Nurses in this sector face an increased risk of violence, work overload and an emotionally taxing environment, which can lead to chronic anxiety, burn-out and even mental health problems. These professionals also have to manage the ambiguity of their role, between caring for and containing patients, in a context where training in crisis management is often inadequate.
