Abstract

This article deals with the organization of nursing work in the long-term care units of a large residential and long-term care centre in the Montreal area. The author uses the results of a work psychodynamics survey to illustrate how the organization of work at the time of the study was a source of suffering for the participants and threatened their mental health. The various defensive strategies they used so that they could carry out and accomplish their work support this conclusion. The analysis is anchored in a description of the specific work context prevailing in the institution.
