Résumé

Assessing sources of job stress in intensive care units is a critical issue for preventing many occupational health and care-related issues, such as burnout, voluntary turnover and decrease in quality and safety of care. Accordingly, this French nation-wide multicentre study aims to provide supplementary evidence regarding the validity of a recent tool: the Perceived Stressors in Intensive Care Units (PS-ICU) scale. More precisely, this study has three main objectives: to 1) confirm the metrological properties of the PS-ICU scale on a large sample of professionals; 2) test its measurement invariance between nurses, physicians and residents (initial population targeted by the scale); 3) examine whether the scale would also be suited for use with nursing auxiliaries. In addition, depending on the results (which may suggest the removal of several items), this study offers the possibility to shorten the scale to facilitate its use.
