Effect of in Situ Simulation on Quality of Work Life and Multiprofessional Team Effectiveness in the Intensive Care Unit
France90 participantsStarted 2025-05-19
Plain-language summary
The lack of specific, personalized training for intensive care workers can lead to a deterioration in quality of life at work, and can result in burnout, absenteeism or wanting to leave the service. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of in situ simulation on quality of work life and the effectiveness of multi-professional teamwork in intensive care.

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 studied healthcare staff in the ICU rather than patients directly — so how might the findings about staff well-being and teamwork actually affect the care I or my loved one would receive in an ICU setting?
2The trial measured something called 'compassion satisfaction' using a scale called ProQOL-5 — can you explain what that means in practical terms, and whether stronger compassion satisfaction among ICU staff has been shown to lead to better patient outcomes?
3Since this trial is already completed, have the results been published or shared anywhere, and would it be worth looking at what they found about ICU team effectiveness before we make decisions about where I receive intensive care?
4The study focused on in-situ simulation training for multiprofessional ICU teams — is this kind of team training something the ICU where I'd be treated already does, or is it something we should ask about when choosing a facility?
5Given that this trial addressed staff burnout and quality of work life rather than testing a treatment for a specific disease, how relevant is it to my personal medical situation, and are there other trials or treatment options I should be prioritizing instead?

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.
