Violence in ICU: Outcomes, Lessons, and Experiences of ICU Team (The VIOLENT-Study)

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.

1. 1This study seems to focus on ICU staff experiences with workplace violence rather than on patient treatment — can you help me understand whether this trial is actually relevant to my own care or condition?
2. 2Since this study is already completed, have any of its findings about ICU workplace safety or staff wellbeing been published or shared, and could those findings affect how my care team manages stress and safety in the unit where I might be treated?
3. 3The study collected information about how ICU staff report and respond to violent incidents — does this kind of research lead to any real changes in hospital policies or safety protocols that could impact my experience as a patient in the ICU?
4. 4Given that this was an observational questionnaire study of ICU staff rather than a clinical treatment trial, is there a different type of study or intervention you'd recommend I look into that's more directly related to my own diagnosis or treatment needs?
5. 5If the findings from this study revealed problems with how workplace violence affects ICU staff professionally and personally, is that something worth discussing when thinking about the quality of care I might receive in an ICU setting?
