“…Both studies used the perceived stress scale (PSS), the impact of event scale-revised (IES-R), and the Maslach burnout inventory (MBI). The same stress factors for doctors and nurses have been identified [28], including a history of psychiatric disorders, substance use disorders, and feelings of hopelessness. In France, Ghesquière highlighted the existence of risk factors, such as an increase in the number of hours worked per week, the location of the pharmacy (the risk being more significant in Nord and Pas-de-Calais), and the number of customers [29].…”

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic intensely involved pharmacists in France, with new responsibilities on a large scale, introducing to dispensary practice the performance of vaccination and nasopharyngeal swabs. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of burnout, anxiety, and depression in pharmacists after the COVID-19 health crisis and to identify factors associated with psychological distress. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study involved 1700 pharmacies in an entire French region. Sociodemographic, geographical, and medical information (burnout tested with the MBI and anxiety/depression measured on the HAD scale) were collected via an online anonymous self-administered questionnaire. The characteristics of the pharmacy and the practice of antigen testing and vaccination were requested. Quantitative and qualitative variables associated with psychological distress were investigated with a factor analysis. Results: In total, 360 responses were collected (20.5%). Of the responses, 41.9% showed definite anxiety symptoms and 18.3% showed proven depressive symptoms. Three clusters were described according to the intensity of burnout experience, depersonalization, and loss of personal accomplishment. The analysis identified that one cluster was at high risk of burnout (high burnout and depersonalization scores). Of these stressed, exhausted pharmacists, 69.3% showed definite anxiety, 37.9% showed proven depression, and in smaller pharmacies. The carrying out of antigenic testing and anti-COVID vaccination, as well as the geographical location of the pharmacy, were not discriminating factors in these three groups. Conclusion: Mental health care and suicide prevention should be provided to at-risk pharmacists. It seems essential to publicize the range of resources available to support pharmacists.

“…The psychological reaction to even the thought of losing a job or license, losing a job or license, or not being able to return to work can be psychologically devastating and is associated with suicide. [73][74][75] Leaders and coworkers need to bolster support for those enduring transitions, a leave of absence, or disciplinary investigation while balancing privacy concerns and risk of loneliness. 76 By maintaining connection and showing support to those who are suffering, leaders and coworkers may save a life.…”

The psychological safety of health care workers is an important but often overlooked aspect of the rising rates of burnout and workforce shortages. In addition, mental health conditions are prevalent among health care workers, but the associated stigma is a significant barrier to accessing adequate care. More efforts are therefore needed to foster health care work environments that are safe and supportive of self-care. The purpose of this brief document is to promote a culture of psychological safety in health care organizations. We review ways in which organizations can create a psychologically safe workplace, the benefits of a psychologically safe workplace, and strategies to promote mental health and reduce suicide risk.
