| Résumé : |
The material analysed is derived from the RITS survey (with Alain Giami, Catherine Veil-Barat, Claudine
Smamalin-Amboise et al. : 108 individual and group interviews) among a sample of nurses and social workers in
and around Paris.
Between the first approach with AIDS patients and specialization in the field, there is a four-stage evolution
toward self-control and professional qualification.
Stage 1. Until the first encounter, nurses are psychologically close to the lay population.
Stage 2. The first contacts, sometimes dramatic, give rise to preservation, self-protection and avoidance reactions
that are more or less relevant. The patients are chiefly perceived through the screen of the disease.
Stage 3. Experienced nurses acquire a deeper knowledge and partially change their behavior. The workload is heavy with terminally ill patients. The relationship with the patients is more individualized, and its breaking off
through death is painfully felt. The ego defence mechanisms are quite efficient, but often costly in terms of energy.
Stage 4. Sorne nurses attain a high level of qualification, their training is better integrated, and their professional behavior is more rational. They master better their relation with the patients, who are viewed more as persons. This has been noted in intensive care units which are «democratically» organized and given strong psychological support. |
