Plain-language summary
The validation of a sleep questionnaire (translated into French from a source questionnaire in English) will provide a reliable and easily administered tool for assessing sleep quality in intensive care, enabling better identification of patients at risk of sleep disorders and other associated complications, in particular ventilatory weaning difficulties.

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 was about validating a French-language sleep questionnaire rather than testing a treatment — does that mean there's no direct therapeutic benefit for someone like me, and what would participating have actually involved?
2Since this study is already completed, would my doctor be able to access or use this French version of the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire to better assess my sleep disorder going forward?
3The Richards-Campbell questionnaire is often used in ICU settings to measure sleep quality in hospitalized patients — does that match my situation, or are there other validated sleep assessment tools that would be more relevant to my specific condition?
4Given that this was a Phase N/A validation study rather than a treatment trial, should I be looking at different types of clinical trials that are actually testing therapies for sleep disorders like mine?

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.
