Given the high exposure of staff to psychosocial risk (PSR) factors, hospitals are encouraged to deploy prevention projects. However, the steps taken are considered unsatisfactory given that they are part of individual and non-organizational approaches. They are mainly at the secondary (training of individuals to help them cope with the risks) and tertiary (medical or psychological support for people who are at risk) levels and not at the primary level (identification and treatment of organizational risk factors). The latter is considered to be the most effective but also the most difficult to implement because it involves calling into question the organization of work. Faced with this problem, the literature is overflowing with lists of good practices falling within the primary level of prevention, but it remains relatively silent on the concrete methods that make it possible to enforce them operationally. With the aim of producing knowledge on the “how to,” we analyzed the deployment of a project for the prevention of PSRs carried out in a hospital pharmacy in France. Adopting an intervention-research approach, we analyzed the fifteen preventive actions proposed by the expression group as well as the support measures adopted by the intervenor to allow the group to take a step back and undertake an in-depth analysis of the organization of work.
