Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the factors contributing to psychosocial risks (PSR) and the specific resources available within an Army Medical Center (AMC), with a view to developing a questionnaire adapted to this unique context. A qualitative study was carried out with 56 military and civilian employees, using semi-directive interviews. The results highlight similarities with PSR and resource factors already identified in the literature, such as workload, emotion management and salary recognition. They also reveal PSR factors specific to the activity of AMC staff, such as the need for availability and mobility, discipline and rigor, task shifting and impeded quality, as well as resource factors such as sports practice and cohesion. The results were used to develop a questionnaire, currently being validated, tailored to the context of army medical centers, with the aim of improving strategies for preventing Psychosocial Risks (PSRs).
