This context accentuates the difficulties in introducing occupational risk prevention in the homes of beneficiaries. As the home is both a workplace and a private space, home care workers have to deal with contradictory rules from both worlds. They are not in a position to enforce barrier gestures there, even though these are respected by beneficiaries in the public space. This contrast implies that home care workers have to work emotionally with their beneficiaries to apply rules that protect their own health as well as theirs. Faced with the risk of cross-contamination inside the home, they bear the double responsibility of protecting people who are reluctant or unable to comply with barrier gestures, and of coping with inappropriate formal rules. This results in an increase in psychosocial risks.Cette enquête ethnographique, menée au sein d’une petite structure publique d’aide à domicile en milieu rural, se déroule durant la période des fêtes de fin d’année 2020 qui a suivi le second confinement en France. Ce contexte accentue les difficultés à instaurer la prévention des risques professionnels au domicile des bénéficiaires. Ce dernier étant à la fois un lieu de travail et un espace privé, les aides à domicile font face à des règles contradictoires relevant de ces deux univers. Elles ne sont pas en mesure d’y faire appliquer les gestes barrière alors qu’ils sont respectés par les bénéficiaires dans l’espace public. Ce contraste implique de la part des aides à domicile un travail émotionnel réalisé auprès des bénéficiaires afin d’appliquer des règles protégeant aussi bien leur propre santé que la leur. Face au risque de contamination croisée dans les domiciles, elles portent la double responsabilité de protéger les personnes réticentes ou incapables de respecter les gestes barrière et de composer avec des règles formelles inadaptées. Il en résulte une augmentation des risques psychosociaux.Cairn free access
