Participation de l’équipage à la construction d’actions de santé dans la marine nationale

Abstract

Prevention is one of the main priorities for the « Santé de Défense 2019-2022 » strategy. In the current climate where the application of preventive measures is a daily challenge, it is necessary, in conjunction with the target cohort, to develop and agree occupational health policies. Having analyzed several papers outlining techniques to generate a co-developed strategy, we created a participation-based process which could be applied to the crew of a French Navy vessel. The main objective was for the crew to implement the health strategies as outlined in a co-developed policy. The study highlighted precipitating factors of health within the target group (lack of empathetic management, family separation, workplace stress) for which potential solutions were discussed. This paper puts forward solutions to remedy the problems encountered in creating a co-developed strategy, as well as pathways for the implementation of participative processes.
