Les effets délétères sur la santé mentale des mesures de restrictions en période de crise sanitaire
Public health measures implemented during a health crisis, while necessary to protect the health of the most vulnerable, have significant impacts on the lifestyle and work habits of many individuals. These measures affect physical, mental, and social well-being, which can influence productivity and employment situation. A CIRANO study (Cissé et al., 2024) reveals that the adverse effects of restrictive measures were substantial during the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec and persisted in the medium term. Health-related quality of life (HRQL) particularly deteriorated for those who were employed, and challenges in balancing family and professional life intensified. This highlights the importance of addressing mental health issues in professional settings.
