Egypt100 participantsStarted 2024-02-01

Plain-language summary

Problem description: Orthopedic surgeries are common in pediatric orthopedics, treating various conditions resulting from developmental, genetic, neoplastic, nutritional, infection, neurological, or physical injuries. The Pediatric Nursing Excellence model helps nurses provide optimal care, improve childcare systems, and deliver high-quality care. It also helps nurses identify trends in specialty nursing excellence. The study aims to evaluate the application of the Pediatric Nursing Excellence Model on nurses' performance regarding the care of children undergoing orthopedic surgeries. Methodology: Randomized Controlled Trial will be conducted using a sample of 100 nurses working in the pediatric inpatient surgical unit of Tanta University Hospital. Three tools will be used for data collection: a knowledge assessment questionnaire, an orthopedic surgeries nurse practice observational checklist, and the Pediatric Nursing Excellence (PNE) model. All study participants will randomly assign to two intervention and control groups (50 each) using a computer-generated table of random numbers. Pediatric Nursing Excellence Model will be applied for the intervention group. The Control group receive routine care. The study participants will be informed about the nature and aim of the study with assuring confidentiality and anonymity. Expected outcome: Nurses who will participate in the pediatric nursing excellence (PNE) model application are expected to have an improvement in their performance regarding care of children undergoing orthopedic surgeries.

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.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

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.
