Early Maladaptive Patterns as Markers of Vulnerability and Targets for Therapeutic Intervention in Burned-out Healthcare Professionals

The group of care professionals suffering from burnout will be made up of care professionals who have been admitted to an outpatient facility at the Clinique Mon Repos. Attached to the clinic, this facility is specifically dedicated to them (day care unit). Around 100 care professionals suffering from burnout have already been assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Young Schema Questionnaire Short form, Montgomery-Asberg depression rating Scale and White Bear Suppression Inventory, with a view to adapting therapeutic interventions as part of their day-to-day care. These participants will be contacted by telephone by the investigator, who will inform them about the study if they meet the eligibility criteria.

The study will also include a group of healthcare professionals not suffering from burnout, who will be informed about the study by investigating physicians from the occupational medicine department. During a regular occupational medicine consultation, the investigator will check the eligibility criteria, collect Maslach Burnout Inventory and Montgomery-Asberg depression rating Scale data as in normal practice, and inform eligible patients about the study.

Lastly, the study will include a group of non-medical professionals in a state of burnout who will be seen in consultation by an occupational medicine investigator, or who will consult and be monitored by an investigator at the Clinic. For those who are seen by an occupational health physician, the investigator will check the eligibility criteria, collect the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Montgomery-Asberg depression rating Scale data as in normal practice, and inform the eligible patients about the study.
