Stress, Personality, Attachment and Coping During the Covid Crisis.

To meet this recommendation, the geriatrics department of the hospital of Charity of Saint-Etienne hospital and the Vinatier hospital in Lyon organized follow-up of these patients by telephone throughout the containment period, thus allowing continuity of care. This pandemic situation and these measures are unprecedented; it is difficult to anticipate the psychological impact on patients.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate if the type of coping strategies usually employed has an effect on the outbreak of a post-traumatic stress after containment. In addition, a second part of the study will propose to assess the factors influencing the experience of containment such as personality, attachment style or coping strategies.
