The main questions it aims to answer are: * To evaluate the effectiveness of a training course on a healthy work environment * To know the perception of nursing and nursing assistants on what is needed to have a healthy work environment, what elements it should contain and whether it has changed after the course has been completed Participants in the intervention group will receive the training course and the control group will not.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1This trial focused on nurses and nursing assistants rather than patients — does participating in or benefiting from research like this actually change the care environment I'd be receiving treatment in?
2Since this study is already completed, has my care team seen any of the findings about how improving nurses' work environments affected things like burnout or staff turnover, and could those results affect the quality of care here?
3The trial looked at nurses' intention to leave their jobs — if staff retention improved in units where this was tested, is there a way to know whether I'd be cared for by a more stable, experienced nursing team as a result?
4Because this was a non-drug, workplace intervention study with no assigned phase, what does that mean for how strongly the results can guide real changes in how nursing staff are supported here?
5Are there other ongoing efforts at this hospital to improve nurse engagement and reduce burnout, and is my doctor aware of how the work environment on my potential care unit might affect my treatment experience?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
