[Healthcare professionals dealing with burnout: risk factors and preventive measures]. / Les professionnels de la santé face au burnout. Facteurs de risque et mesures preventives.

Although sometimes called "disease of the century", the burnout doesn't inspire a lot of prevention, and is still a taboo, for most of people suffering of this malaise. The healthcare professionals represent a risky population and most of them are not aware of it. Unfortunately existing preventive measures are still badly known. Nevertheless it seems necessary to try to prevent if not slow down the development of this disease before it leads to excessive damages for our already suffering society... Talking about this pathology is quite easy but it is much more difficult than generally thought to admit being personally touched and to look for appropriate help.
