Coming at a time when burnout rates were already high, the COVID-19 pandemic physically and mentally further stressed our nation’s health care workforce, leading to record levels of burnout, moral distress, and moral injury. In response, Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy released an advisory on building a thriving health workforce in 2022 with the specific aim of targeting health worker burnout to improve health and well-being and strengthen the nation’s public health infrastructure. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra said, “We owe all health workers—from doctors to hospital custodial staff—an enormous debt. And as we can clearly see and hear throughout this Surgeon General’s Advisory, they’re telling us what our gratitude needs to look like: real support and systemic change that allows them to continue serving to the best of their abilities.”

Cet article présente l’état actuel des connaissances sur la relation entre les conditions de travail et le développement de troubles mentaux et fait des recommandations relatives aux mesures qui pourraient être prises pour protéger la santé mentale au travail. En effet, cette étude a permis de constater que l’attention s’est concentrée principalement sur les interventions visant l’individu et la maladie plutôt que les conditions de travail et les actions pour améliorer la santé mentale. Les chercheurs ont souligné l’importance d’appliquer les résultats de la recherche sur la santé mentale au travail dans l’élaboration des politiques et des programmes se concentrant sur le personnel plus à risque.
