The ministers renew all their support and all their thoughts towards the relatives of Carène Mezino, a nurse murdered in Reims in the exercise of her duties, and her colleague, seriously injured, as well as to all the medical teams and all the caregivers who are victims of violence.
Protecting those who care for us is a top priority and a national emergency. Violence, whether physical or verbal, committed once morest health professionals weighs very heavily on the conditions of practice of caregivers as well as on their state of health.
It is precisely to build with health professionals and all stakeholders new responses adapted both to the new forms of violence encountered and to the expectations on the ground that the Minister, Agnès Firmin Le Bodo, initiated last January, at the request of the Minister of Health and Prevention, a dedicated mission. Nathalie Nion, senior health officer of the AP-HP, and Doctor Jean-Christophe Masseron, president of SOS Médecins, have thus for several months conducted a wide consultation with the stakeholders in the safety of caregivers and formulate, in a report which was submitted on June 8, a series of proposals to combat violence once morest health professionals.
Agnès Firmin Le Bodo wanted the proposals formulated in the report to be able to address two time scales: priority solutions that can be implemented quickly to respond to urgent situations already identified, and proposals falling within a to fight once morest violence over time and adapt our responses over the long term.
As the report’s authors point out, the rise of violence in the health sector has profound consequences for victims and caring communities, which undermine the care of patients and care as a whole. The issue of violence committed once morest health professionals is therefore at the intersection of a double challenge: that of the health of caregivers and that of the attractiveness of health professions.
The qualified personalities have identified six objectives to better understand violence once morest caregivers, better prevent it and protect victims:
- Act on the determinants of violence;
- Acculturate professionals;
- Better objectify the facts of internal and external violence;
- Accompany and support the victims;
- Preparing future professionals;
- Communicate with all stakeholders.
44 measures have therefore been put forward, which correspond in particular to the points of attention highlighted by the Minister Delegate at the launch of the mission: the safety of caregivers working in the city, sexist and sexual violence denounced by health students or even the improvement of health-safety-justice agreements.
Several proposals thus particularly caught the attention of the ministers, including:
- The deployment of portable alert devices for professionals working alone;
- The initial and continuous training of carers and reception staff to better manage the possible aggressiveness of their interlocutors;
- Improving the criminal justice response to the threats and attacks they suffer;
- Better support for victims in their legal proceedings.
All these proposals are currently the subject of an in-depth analysis by the Ministry of Health and Prevention, as well as by the other ministries concerned. They will feed into the plan to combat violence once morest caregivers that the Government will present at the beginning of July, in accordance with the guidelines set by the Prime Minister.
