[In old people's homes, carers face Covid-19]. / En Ehpad, les soignants face à la Covid-19.

ABSTRACT

Many ethical issues were raised by the pandemic crisis. Caregivers were under great pressure and stress in their work in residential care facilities for the dependent elderly (Ehpad), both with residents and their families. The implementation of ethical support tools was only gradual, particularly for the management of residents' deaths. Anxiety has set in among all the people working or living in the Ehpad, blurring interpersonal relations and increasing tensions and professional exhaustion.
