A dynamic and critical approach to belonging as a dimension of occupation

ABSTRACT Doing, being, becoming, and belonging have been theorized as dimensions of occupation, yet belonging has received comparatively less attention from occupational scientists. The occupation-based literature tends to equate belonging with connectedness and to take a sedentarist approach in which (transnational) mobilities are considered as a challenge for occupational engagement and belonging. This paper critically examines belonging as developed through occupations and considers its constructed, dynamic, and multifaceted nature in the context of migration. Our theoretical framework is informed by transnational approaches, the mobilities paradigm, and transculturality. We draw from a cross-national comparative ethnography including 86 interviews with recent Vietnamese migrants in Vancouver, Canada, and Paris, France, as well as returning migrants in Vietnam. Our findings address participants’ belonging with regards to 1) routines, social ties, and familiarity; 2) mobile and immobile occupations; and 3) (post-)colonial politics of belonging. This study deepens understandings of the dynamic nature of occupation and belonging as well as how both are shaped by and can reproduce power dynamics. First, we contend that occupation and belonging are inherently situated, yet are not necessarily bounded to a single location. Belonging develops through routine occupations involving familiar people, objects, and amenities, which can themselves be mobile or accessible in multiple settings. Second, we emphasize how some occupations can become benchmarks for belonging, particularly in Western immigrant-receiving countries influenced by assimilationist and (post-)colonial dynamics. Lastly, we underscore individuals’ agency in employing occupations in ways to negotiate and claim belonging to their receiving and/or sending countries.

Compromises in occupational choice and premature termination of vocational education and training: gender type, prestige, and occupational interests in focus

This study examines whether premature termination of vocational education and training (VET) is more likely when trainees have to make compromises between their realistic occupational aspirations and the occupation for which they are trained in terms of the occupational dimensions of gender type, prestige, and occupational interests. Specifically, it examines the relative importance of the three compromise dimensions on premature VET termination. The study is based on a sample of 3,241 VET entrants from a cohort of ninth graders in 2010 in the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS-SC4) in combination with aggregated data on occupational characteristics. Results from discrete hazard rate models indicate a higher risk of premature VET termination for trainees whose VET occupation differs from their realistic occupational aspiration from their school days. While compromises in prestige have no overall effect, both compromises in interests and gender type threaten the stability of VET. The results also indicate that compromises in interests have the strongest effect on the risk of premature VET termination and that the effects of compromises in gender type are partly mediated by the effects of compromises in interests. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis revealed that the main effects of compromises in gender type and prestige are gender specific.

Affective Contact in Autism: A Phenomenological Study of the Emotional Experiences of Autistic Adults.

Since the first descriptions of autism, difficulties with affective contact (e.g., interpersonal exchanges of feelings between individuals) have been considered a common feature of autism spectrum disorder, and these difficulties frequently manifest in occupational therapy interventions. To (1) explore how autistic young adults describe their emotions and (2) suggest ways to improve the affective contact between autistic clients and their therapists. Virtual focus group interviews. Online (Qualtrics) survey and Zoom focus groups. Autistic adults (N = 24) who met the following inclusion criteria: self-reported diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder or Asperger syndrome, age 18-35 yr, able to understand English, and able to participate in a focus group or individual interview using verbal or written communication. Two themes were noted and are presented in this article: (1) Autistic people experience complex emotions and (2) autistic people's emotions are often (mis)measured and (mis)understood. The findings indicate that autistic people experience diverse, complex, and intense emotions and that these are connected to occupation. This suggests that occupational therapists must be attuned to the emotional dimension of occupation when working with autistic clients and that autistic clients may benefit from the use of embodied language to reference their emotions. Occupational therapists can help autistic clients recognize their bodily changes when experiencing emotions and to better identify and regulate their emotions. The results also show that there were many cases nonautistic people misinterpreted the emotions of autistic people on the basis of their facial expressions or words. Plain-Language Summary: This article provides information about the emotional experiences of autistic people. The study found that autistic people experience complex emotions and that those emotions are often misinterpreted or misunderstood. The author provides information on how occupational therapists can use a neurodiversity-affirming and person-centered approach to support the emotional experiences of people in the autism community. Positionality Statement: In this article, identity-first language is used when referring to autistic adults. This deliberate choice aligns with the principles of the neurodiversity-affirming movement. Autistic self-advocates have indicated a preference for this style of language over person-first language. The author would also like to acknowledge their positionality. As both a neurodivergent researcher and a self-advocate for the disabled community, this style of language aligns with their own experiences of and beliefs about their disability.

Garantindo o direito a uma morte segura e culturalmente apropriada: o significado das ocupações na tríade vida-morte-renascimento a partir da visão indígena colombiana

Abstract The spiritual value attributed to death, by the guardians of the heart of the world in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, as in other indigenous cultures, integrates a social, physical, ethical, ecological, and emotional preparation to make a healthy accompaniment to life after death. Its importance goes far beyond a vision related to spectacular events or the demystification of the indigenous worldview as being considered “poor or vulnerable”. Through a situated reflection of the health, illness and care processes within an indigenous context at the end of life, we propose to consider the meaning of occupations in the triad of life - death - rebirth, to ensure a compliance with the right of one that alludes to the meaning of a safe and culturally appropriate death. The occupational dimension, as an agent for creating and interpreting the collective meanings of indigenous communities through the espiritugogía preceded by their ancestry, can offer other intercultural perspectives of ancient palliative care and differentiated and respectful support by health systems.

Analysis of the Impact of China's Comprehensive "Two-Child Policy" on Women's Employment

Employment is a cornerstone of a nation's well-being, impacting economic prosperity and the lives of its citizens. Within this context, women's employment is a complex issue intertwined with social status, marital dynamics, and broader societal implications. This article explores the intricate relationship between women's employment and China's evolving population policies, with a focus on the "universal two-child" policy. This article conducts a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the "universal two-child" policy on women's employment. It delves into the current state of female fertility through a review of existing literature and explores the multifaceted challenges and opportunities women face in balancing family and career aspirations. The analysis reveals improvements in women's employment prospects after childbirth, yet significant challenges persist across economic, social, psychological, and occupational dimensions. Women navigate complex decisions, influenced by evolving family planning policies, societal norms, and individual circumstances. Recommendations are presented from both governmental and individual perspectives to address these challenges and promote gender equality in the workforce.

Occupational dimension of food security: A rural household level assessment in Kogi State, Nigeria

This study empirically assessed the occupational dimension of food security among rural households in Kogi State, Nigeria. The study adopted a multi-stage random sampling technique to select one hundred and forty-four (144) rural households for data collection. Primary data obtained from the respondents were analyzed using descriptive statistics, food security index (FSI), and a binary logit regression model. The results revealed a mean age of 43 years among the rural household heads. Married households accounted for 79.29% of the sample size with a mean household size of 4 members. The level of illiteracy was relatively low. The mean monthly income among the households was N71,796.43 (($154.40)). The majority (91.30%) of the farmers were food secure while only 8.70% were food insecure. The incidence of food insecurity was higher (77.8%) among the artisans, followed by household heads in other occupations, traders, and civil servants with an incidence rate of 58.3%, 54.8%, and 51.5%, respectively. It was also found that sex (p<0.01) and farming as a major occupation of household head (p<0.01) had a positive impact on rural household food security, while age (p<0.01) had a negative impact on household food security. It was recommended that relevant stakeholders should encourage rural households to practice agricultural production and farmers should be supported by the government and other relevant actors to expand their scale of production as this will have a multiplier effect on rural households’ food security.

Covid-19 on Fb: Highlighting Psychosocial Wellness of College Students in the Philippines

The study examines the impact of viewing COVID-19-related information on participants' physical, intellectual, emotional, environmental, occupational, social, financial, and spiritual dimensions on Facebook. Regardless of quarantine experience, most participants believed in the information they viewed, regardless of classification. The effects of viewing on spiritual, environmental, and occupational dimensions were alarming. Participants with ailments and those who experienced quarantine were similar to those who spent 1-12 hours daily on Facebook. The physical dimensions were similar for both those with and without ailments. The belief in the information and classification of belief had a significant relationship with the physical, intellectual, emotional, environmental, occupational, social, and financial dimensions but not with the spiritual dimension.

Analysis of Socioeconomics and Occupational Dimensions of Shrimp Farmers of Tamil Nadu

Studies on socioeconomic, communication media usage, occupational, and sociopsychological attributes of farmers are prerequisite for planning, designing, and successful implementation of sustainable management strategies of a sector which is true for Penaeus vannamei shrimp farming also. The state of Andhra Pradesh in India ranks first in shrimp farming. However, Tamil Nadu state has a lot of potential and is slowly catching with third position, so the baseline profile of shrimp farmers of Tamil Nadu was collected through interviews with 316 shrimp farmers in Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Thanjavur, and Thiruvallur districts. Most shrimp farmers were men of middle-age, with experience ranging from 1 to 5 years with secondary school to graduate level education. About 89.36% of shrimp farmers had taken loans for the purpose of shrimp farming whereas 78.16% were depending on income from shrimp farming as a repayment source. The benefit–cost ratio of shrimp farming was 2.2 indicating profitability so 79.37% of them were able to save money. However, for 86.53% this was a major expenditure too indicating its vital role in their life. For acquiring information for shrimp farming, 40% relied on friends and 24% relied on fellow farmers. Shrimp farmers were well-versed with the present-era mass-media and through smartphones they acquired information from apps like YouTube. Innovation proneness, scientific orientation, and economic motivation were found to be high in about 30% of farmers. Proper planning is essential for sustainable shrimp farming and sustaining the socioeconomic benefits. The studied attributes play an important role in formulation, designing, and successful implementation of sustainable shrimp farming.

Cumulative social disadvantage and cardiovascular disease burden and mortality.

To investigate the association between cumulative social disadvantage and cardiovascular burden and mortality in a large cohort of the general population. Cross-sectional (n = 15 010, aged 35 to 74 years, baseline investigation period 2007 to 2012) and longitudinal data (5- and 10-year follow-ups from 2012 to 2022) from the Gutenberg Health Study were used to investigate the association between individual socioeconomic status (SES, measured via a validated questionnaire) and cardiovascular disease (CVD, composite of atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, chronic heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and/or venous thromboembolism) risk and mortality. Subjects with prevalent CVD had a lower SES sum score, as well as lower education, occupation, and household net-income scores (all P < 0.0001). Logistic regression analysis showed that a low SES (vs. high, defined by validated cut-offs) was associated with 19% higher odds of prevalent CVD [odds ratio (OR) 1.19, 95% CI 1.01; 1.40] in the fully adjusted model. At 5-year follow-up, low SES was associated with both increased cardiovascular [hazard ratio (HR) 5.36, 2.24; 12.82] and all-cause mortality (HR 2.23, 1.51; 3.31). At 10-year follow-up, low SES was associated with a 68% higher risk of incident CVD (OR 1.68, 1.12; 2.47) as well as 86% higher all-cause mortality (HR 1.86, 1.55; 2.24). In general, the education and occupation scores were stronger related to risk of CVD and death than the household net-income score. Low SES was estimated to account for 451.45 disability-adjusted life years per 1000 people (years lived with disability 373.41/1000 and years of life lost 78.03/1000) and an incidence rate of 11 CVD cases and 3.47 CVD deaths per 1000 people per year. The population attributable fraction for CVD incidence after 5 years was 4% due to low SES. Despite universal healthcare access, cumulative social disadvantage remains associated with higher risk of CVD and mortality. Dimensions of education and occupation, but not household net income, are associated with outcomes of interest.

Educational strategies and nursing theory to prepare leaners for NCLEX-RN.

To identify teaching stategies, theories, and methods to enhance students' quality of life (QOL) that are used in preparing students for the NCLEX-RN exam. A scoping review was conducted. Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines were utilized. Data were derived from four databases including CINAHL, ERIC, PsychINFO and Web of Science using specific keywords. Inclusion criteria were English language and articles published in the last 7 years. Studies (N = 25) revealed that multiple educational strategies are used to prepare students for the NCLEX-RN exam; however, there was not a consensus on a best practice. Eight theories were utilized in more than one article. QOL concerns of psychological, social, spiritual, financial and occupational dimensions may relate to the NCLEX-RN results. Patterns in educational strategies and theories were noted among articles, but there was no focus on enhancing students' QOL.

Stress Experienced by Special Education Teachers and Coping with Stress

The main purpose of the research is to examine the stress factors of special education teachers. The sample of the research consists of special education teachers working in special education schools in a district in the Aegean Region. Pearson correlation analysis, t test and ANOVA test were used to analyse the data in the research in which quantitative research methods were used. As a result of the research, it is seen that the inadequate salary of the teachers, ignoring the individual differences of the students in the course curriculum, perception of teaching as a profession that "everyone can do", and students' lack of interest in the lesson partially affect the stress level. There is a positive, moderately strong relationship between the student dimension and the personality dimension, curriculum dimension, teacher/teacher relations dimension, management/supervision dimension, school dimension and professional dimension. There is a moderately strong positive relationship between School Dimension and Occupational Dimension. There is no statistically significant difference between all dimensions of stress factors in terms of gender, marital status, type of school graduated from, reason for choosing teaching profession and length of service.

Visual Necropolitics and Visual Violence: Theorizing Death, Sight, and Sovereign Control of Palestine

Abstract The Israeli military’s occupation of Palestinian territory relies heavily on its ability to shape the visual environment and set the terms of how Palestinians may see and be seen. However, the relationship between violent occupation and violent visualities has yet to be fully theorized. This article gathers several conceptual strands—biopolitics, visual biopolitics, and necropolitics—to theorize what I term “visual necropolitics.” Visual necropolitics is proffered as an analytical tool that furthers our understanding of the violent visual regulations that enable and sustain the conditions for the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands and the subjugation of the Palestinian people. To illustrate this, three distinct but related forms of visual violence will be analyzed: the deliberate infliction of ocular trauma through targeting of the eyes, the strategy of maiming in order to prevent telegenic death, and the imposition of visual regulations to govern the death of captured bodies. This theorization allows us to move beyond considering the politics of sight, vision, and representation only as an artifact of the colonial power relations that govern life and death in Palestine, towards understanding how visual violence is a constitutive dimension of occupation. Not only does colonial occupation use visual violence, but it cannot be sustained without it.

Occupational Experiences of Medication Management Among Adults Living With Multiple Chronic Conditions.

Adults with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) often face difficulties with medication management, affecting their experiences of well-being and illness. The objective of this study was to identify and describe the occupational experiences of medication management and their impact on well-being and illness in adults living with MCCs. We used document analysis methods to analyze 134 illness narrative blog posts authored by 52 adults aged 18 and older with MCCs. Content and thematic analysis of their textual content was based on the Pan Occupational Paradigm. Medication management is enacted through the dimensions of doing, belonging, becoming, being, and knowing, in an interconnected, nonlinear manner, with a more notable impact on illness than well-being due to the complexities associated with medication management for MCCs. Occupational therapy practices for medication management should consider all occupational dimensions and their impact on health rather than focusing primarily on the performance of medication tasks and routines.

RURAL/URBAN DIFFERENCES IN LIFETIME OCCUPATION AND ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY AMONG MEXICAN ADULTS

Abstract Mortality is affected by occupation dimensions, such as physical and mental demands, environmental exposures, and access to resources. Few studies have examined the relationship between occupation and mortality in countries with shifting occupation profiles, such as Mexico. We used 2001–2018 data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study to investigate the association between lifetime occupation type and all-cause mortality among participants aged 50 and older. We grouped participants’ longest-held occupations into five categories: (1) no main job; (2) agriculture; (3) domestic, service; (4) administrative, professionals, sales; and (5) production, industrial, transportation. We used Cox Proportional Hazard regression to study death risk associated with occupation, adjusting models for baseline demographic, health, and job characteristics. We stratified analysis by rural and urban to account for differences in occupation composition. Our sample included 10,482 participants, with 4,147 deaths occurring during follow-up. The percentage of participants in administrative, professional or sales was higher in urban areas than rural areas (60.7% vs. 20.5%). The percentage of participants in agriculture was higher in rural areas than urban areas (81.8% vs. 18.2%). Compared to professionals, participants in agriculture, industry, or transportation had a slightly higher risk of death (HR=1.65, 95% CI 1.59 to 1.77). Agriculture workers in rural areas had a higher risk of death than non-agriculture workers in rural areas. Considering rural/urban differences in occupations and their effect on mortality can inform policy aimed at improving the working environment for Mexican adults. Understanding rural/urban differences in mortality associated with occupation can elucidate socioeconomic inequalities in mortality.

Compromises between Occupational Aspirations and VET Occupations—a Contribution to the Reproduction of Social Inequalities?

Abstract Many school leavers cannot fulfil their occupational aspirations when entering vocational education and training (VET), and have to make compromises. This study asks what form these compromises take by examining multiple extrinsic occupational dimensions, and investigates differences by social background. Data for VET entrants from lower and intermediate school tracks from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS-SC4) are combined with occupation-specific data. The cluster analysis reveals four distinct patterns of compromise: 1) upward moves and 2) downward moves in multiple extrinsic attributes, 3) concessions in firm size and wage, and 4) concessions in regular working hours and status. Multinomial logistic regressions indicate that compromise formation is hardly socially stratified in terms of parental education and occupational position. Compared to natives, VET entrants from second-generation migrant families are more likely to move upward into relative better training occupations than occupations originally aspired to.

Does It Pay Off? Understanding Subjective Employment Mobility of European Physicians in Germany

This article investigates the subjective employment mobility, defined as migrants’ evaluation of their employment situation before and after migration, of European physicians in Germany. Analyzing different dimensions of occupation (e.g., income, working conditions, use of skills, career opportunities) of physicians who migrated to Germany from within the European Union (i.e., EU physicians), it examines which factors influence physicians’ perception of whether migration worsened or improved their employment situation. I argue that the original reasons to migrate (e.g., economic, career-related, or family reasons) and other migration-related factors (e.g., language skills), as well as characteristics of the occupation (e.g., the hierarchical structure), must be considered to understand subjective employment mobility. The analyses are based on original survey data collected among EU physicians in Germany ( N = 1,058). Results from OLS regressions show that physicians’ original reasons for migration largely matched their subjective employment mobility, suggesting that migration for career reasons and a perceived improvement of use of skills and career opportunities are positively linked while migration for economic reasons positively affected physicians’ perception of income and working conditions. Physicians aiming for the highest position perceived their overall employment situation as worse compared to before migration, and the origin region mattered, particularly for physicians from EU Eastern member-states, who were more likely to perceive an improvement in their employment situation. Results further inform understandings of labor-related migration of high-skilled professionals by identifying obstacles and conducive conditions at migration for a group that is often assumed not to face barriers in using migration for professional advancement.

Occupational therapy practice with terminally ill Chinese older adults in Singapore: A qualitative exploratory study.

As the majority of occupational therapy philosophy has Western origins, occupational therapists working with palliative care clients in Singapore can provide invaluable insight into the practice of occupational therapy within a non-Western, family-centric population. This study aimed to describe occupational therapists' perceptions of the occupations of terminally ill Chinese older adults and their caregivers and explore occupational therapy practice with terminally ill Chinese older adults in Singapore. Eleven occupational therapists were recruited via convenience and snowball sampling. Inclusion criteria were being fully registered with the Allied Health Professionals Council (Singapore) with at least 2 years of working experience and currently working with/had experience working with terminally ill patients within the past 2 years. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, and data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Five themes were constructed from the data: (1) Independence may not be for everyone, (2) it is a family unit, (3) contributing to others' lives is important, (4) what respecting clients means, and (5) a different way of engaging. These themes describe how occupational therapists adapted their practice to better meet the needs of clients and families in Singapore. In family-centric societies, it may be more relevant for occupational therapists to facilitate interdependence instead of independence in activities of daily living. In addition, activities that contribute to others' lives tangibly/intangibly may be more meaningful and relevant. Finally, occupational therapists could engage clients through the 'being' instead of 'doing' dimension of occupation. While occupational therapists in Singapore faced some challenges working with terminally ill clients and families due to differences between occupational therapy philosophy and practice context, by reframing their thinking, they were able to adapt their practices to meet the needs of a family-centric population.

Understanding the role and importance of occupational therapy in mental health services in Morocco: Perspectives from mental health professionals.

Across the global landscape, mental health care still exhibits challenges because of the lack of human and professional resources to face its consequences. In Morocco, mental health problems affect mainly adolescents and young adults, with a clear impact on functional engagement in their daily lives. Occupational therapy, as a holistic and person-centered practice, may be an ideal mental health strategy to promote health and well-being through occupation, thereby enabling individuals to participate in regular daily activities. To understand, from an intercultural perspective, the point of view of mental health professionals regarding the role and importance of occupation-based practices in Errazi Mental Health Hospital in Salé(Rabat) Morocco. A qualitative research design was used for this study. Data collection consisted of semi-structured interviews with 12 mental health care professionals (non-occupational therapists). These results were used to gain an understanding of their perspectives regarding the main role of human occupation in mental health services in Morocco, and to incorporate an intercultural outlook in terms of occupational therapy. Data analysis was conducted in three phases, by following the grounded theory methodology. Two categories, "dimensions of occupation in Moroccan mental health" and "the interplay between traditional and western perspectives involving mental health" emerged from this research. Both categories included five subcategories. This study identifies how occupation-based services in Moroccan mental health care require considering not only the cultural perspective of mental health, and the sociocultural meaning rooted in occupations, but also the relevance of incorporating a community-centered approach. Moreover, it discusses how occupational therapy education in Morocco must incorporate an intercultural perspective of the therapy's theory and practice.

A hundred days in confinement: Doing, being, becoming, and belonging among older people in Sweden during the COVID-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT Background: When and how people were able to engage in everyday occupations changed suddenly with the coronavirus pandemic. Defined as a risk group due to their age, people 70 years and older in Sweden experienced confinement, as did older adults globally. Aim: To explore how doing, being, becoming, and belonging as dimensions of occupation were manifested in the lives of Swedish people 70 years or older, 100 days into the coronavirus pandemic. Method: Data were elicited through semi-structured interviews with 17 participants (11 women, 6 six men, mean age 76 years), living in ordinary housing in Sweden. Interviews were conducted in June 2020 as part of a larger longitudinal research project. A directed content analysis approach was used to analyse the data based on the occupational dimensions of doing, being, becoming, and belonging. Results: After 100 days of confinement, daily occupations had been changed, and habits and routines disrupted. However, the need to engage in occupations was strong. Participants expressed how they adapted their occupations to the restrictions, but also how their doing affected their well-being, further development, and opportunities for social interactions. Conclusion: The participants, who were older people without any specific diagnosis, reflected upon their daily occupations during an unrehearsed natural experiment when, more than anything else, the social environmental circumstances changed. The analysis elucidates how doing, being, becoming, and belonging is embedded in people’s lives. The study can serve as a foundation to further research on understanding people’s individual needs as occupational beings.

Exploration of the occupational and personal dimensions impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for nurses: A qualitative analysis of survey responses.

AimTo explore the occupational and personal life dimensions that have been impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic for registered nurses (RN) and licensed practical nurses (LPN).DesignQualitative interpretive description approach.MethodsBetween July and September 2020, a web‐based cross‐sectional study was conducted among RNs and LPNs in Quebec, Canada. Included in this survey was an open‐ended question allowing nurses to describe the occupational and personal life dimensions that were impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the qualitative data from this open‐ended question. Reporting followed the Standards For Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR).ResultsOf the 1860 survey respondents, 774 RNs and 43 LPNs responded to the open‐ended question (total n = 819). For the occupational dimension, six themes were identified: impacts of infection control on work, change in daily work tasks, offloading and reorganization of care, deterioration of working conditions, increased stress at work and issues related to the profession. For the personal dimension, four themes were found: impacts on the family, dealing with changes about leisure and personal life, impacts on physical and psychological health.ConclusionKnowing the dimensions affected by the COVID‐19 pandemic could help to identifying appropriate interventions to support RNs and LPNs.ImpactThe COVID‐19 pandemic has significantly impacted the occupational and personal lives RNs and LPNs working in the Quebec healthcare system. More specifically, Quebec's nurses experienced a major reorganization of care generated by important government decisions. Knowing how the pandemic affected different life dimensions will help in the development of support adapted to nurses' realities. Even in a pandemic context, improvements in the work environment or appropriate support could lead to an improved psychological health for nurses.
