Introduction Psychosocial risks (PSRs) represent major issues for occupational health and safety. They correspond to “work situations where stress, internal and external violence are present, combined or not” INRS, 2018. During the COVID 19 period, these risks particularly affected nursing staff. Methods descriptive study uses Karasek and MBI questionnaires self-administered to nursing staff in the northern region of Morocco over a four-month period. Results 150 people from 24 establishments responded voluntarily/ 46.85% suffered from chronic stress, and were subject to job strain and ISO strain, 25.17% suffered from burnout. High scores of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low scores of personal fulfillment were observed in 46.2%, 51% and 63.6% of respondents respectively. 53% of women, 47% of men, 28% of doctors, 56% of nurses, 8% of midwives, 8% of technicians, 46.1% worked in the COVID unit. Discussion: Discussion Stress and burn-out are the result of work overload (Kapasa, 2021) (Zine El Abidine & slaoui, 2021), sleep problems (20%), lack of safety measures (55.5%), lack of support in difficult situations (51.3%) less experience (Kamal et al, 2020, El Hage et al, 2020). Analysis of healthcare staff profiles shows that 25.17% have burnout, 8.4% are ineffective, 1.4% are disengaged, 0.7% are overextended and only 2% are committed. these profiles are useful when designing prevention measures. Conclusion Covid 19 showed that primary and secondary prevention measures are insufficient in Moroccan hospitals. Tertiary prevention measures were deemed ineffective, with only 2% of healthcare staff having used the psychological support unit set up by the Ministry of Health.
