Primary | GENERATION OF ITEMS : Identifying the stress factors | In order to construct a first questionnaire based on all of the factors of perceived stress in intensive care, our research team will begin by identifying the stress factors. This identification will involve two main sources: | up to 24 month | Yes |
Secondary | GENERATION OF ITEMS: Selecting the items | All of the stress factors identified in the literature and in the exploratory interviews will then be grouped and organized according to the different dimensions of stress identified in health psychology | up to 6 month | Yes |
Secondary | GENERATION OF ITEMS: Administering the PS-ICU questionnaire | The PS-ICU Questionnaire will be administered to a representative population (doctors and nurses in intensive care) in each of the countries involved. This population will allow us to do the analyses necessary for the reduction of the items, and to retain only the most reliable items. The administration of the questionnaire will also be used to evaluate several aspects: pertinence, comprehension, and redundancy of the items. | up to 24 month | Yes |
Secondary | GENERATION OF ITEMS: Construction of the PS-ICU scale | Our research team will collect all of the quantitative data gathered in the framework of administering the PS-ICU questionnaire (France, Spain, Italia, Canada, Australia). It will be in charge of the statistical analysis and the interpretation of the results. | up to 24 month | Yes |
