Souffrance au travail : quelle synergie pour une meilleure efficacité au maintien professionnel ?

What are we talking about when we evoke work-related sufferings? In 2005, the National Agency For Better Work Conditions (ANACT) defined it as following: “ A depression as a result of organisational and social constraints in the company. They are often triggered in reaction to identifiable behaviours of colleagues or one's superiors; the conviction that the level of degradation reached cannot be changed positively is a marker that one is suffering. ” The situations and treatments are very variable and depend on multiple factors concerning the individual characteristics as well as the characteristics of the employment. This situation of suffering will also question how one is able to return to work again considering different options such as: the opportunities of a professional conversion, a breach of employment contract or a recognition of prejudice. There is also an intention to avoid professional desertification through strategic guidance with the help of medical treatments, as well as social and legal support. To address these different dimensions, the consultations of “suffering and work” go through the factors that have participated in the degradation of a patient's personal situation. The consultations analyse the consequence on their health. They identify useful orientations and accompany patients to find solutions to help construct a therapeutic and professional project. How will this synergy and multidisciplinary work together thus enabling patients to become actors of their professional future again? The repression of the physiological body, of the psyche, and the social restoration have different temporalities that could become dissonant if you try to regulate them all at the same time. You must know how to preserve the urgency of a physical psyche restoration, and help recuperate a space for thought, before you can even think of the different possibilities at hand to help extricate the patient from a difficult situation.
