Conclusions
This paper is innovative by comparing hospital staff in two different countries which were not compared before. More Moroccan HCWs in general and more Moroccan physicians are at high strain than Nantes’ HCWs and physicians. Use of hypnotics and analgesics is at high level in Moroccan HCWs. Full time workers, midwives and workers using hypnotics, sedatives and analgesics are under high strain. Our results provide elements for improving the working conditions and well-being of health care workers in Morocco. They stress out the importance of implementing a risk prevention plan and even a hospital reform. Further research, with an enlarged study pool and a more exhaustive analysis, will bring more information on PSR and HCWs’ health.
