简要总结
Cardiac arrest centers are specialized in treating critically ill patients with severe cardiovascular diseases, such as cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock or acute myocardial infarction. Diagnostic and therapeutic measures, such as the use of devices for extracorporeal life support, require highly specialized training and skills. Apart from extensive medical expertise, physicians and nurses may be exposed to exceptional levels of occupational stressors. Therefore, excellent medical, psychological and inter-personal training of the medical staff is essential to improve patient outcomes. Assessment of quality of care is important to provide continuous improvement in patient care and team performance. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study which examined the quality of care in cardiac arrest centers across key dimensions of quality of care. Therefore, we aim to assess a bundle of key dimensions, that is psychological strain (P), resource utilization (R), interaction (I) between doctoral and nursing staff, costs of care (C) and education (E) programs for staff (PRICE scheme). A cross-sectional study will be conducted with doctors and nurses, using a digital quesitonnaire that will cover the five dimensions of the PRICE scheme.
