Description

Paramedics in intensive care are particularly exposed to the risk of burnout, which is multifactorial (psychologically and physically challenging environment, life-threatening emergency context, etc.). Personal assistance professions require a high level of compassion, leading to a positive feeling of compassionate satisfaction, i.e. the satisfaction of helping others. Compassion fatigue leads to a reduction in job satisfaction, culminating in burnout. Factors negatively influencing compassion satisfaction are the absence of specific and adapted training, or the lack of support from the hierarchy. Among the pedagogical tools available, in situ simulation could be used to respond to a specific and personalized training request from a care department. The study will be carried out in the cardio-thoracic intensive care unit at Montpellier University Hospital, comparing 2 groups to assess the effect of simulation on paramedics. Paramedics will be randomized into 2 groups, with stratification on diploma (nursing assistant or nurse): group A benefiting from a simulation program, and group B not benefiting from it during the study.
