- Registration Number
- NCT06944821
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Montpellier
- Brief 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.
- Detailed Description
Paramedics in intensive care are particularly exposed to the risk of burnout, which is multifactorial (psychologically and physically challenging environment, life-threatening emergency context, etc.). Personal assistance professions require a high level of compassion, leading to a positive feeling of compassionate satisfaction, i.e. the satisfaction of helping others. Compassion fatigue leads to a reduction in job satisfaction, culminating in burnout. Factors negatively influencing compassion satisfaction are the absence of specific and adapted training, or the lack of support from the hierarchy. Among the pedagogical tools available, in situ simulation could be used to respond to a specific and personalized training request from a care department. The study will be carried out in the cardio-thoracic intensive care unit at Montpellier University Hospital, comparing 2 groups to assess the effect of simulation on paramedics. Paramedics will be randomized into 2 groups, with stratification on diploma (nursing assistant or nurse): group A benefiting from a simulation program, and group B not benefiting from it during the study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Subscale of compassion satisfaction of ProQOL-5 (Professional Quality of Life Scale version 5 From baseline to the end of the follow up at 6 months The ProQOL is composed of 30 questions with 3 subscales : compassion satisfaction, burnout and vicarious trauma. Each response are scored from 1 to 5 . The subscale Compassion Satisfaction is composed of 10 questions. A score ≤ 22 indicates a deterioration in compassion satisfaction.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Adverse event From baseline to the end of the follow up at 6 months Occurrence of adverse events or errors linked to a lack of interprofessional communication
Burnout subscale of ProQOL-5 From baseline to the end of the follow up at 6 months The ProQOL is composed of 30 questions with 3 subscales : compassion satisfaction, burnout and vicarious trauma. Each response are scored from 1 to 5 . The subscale Burnout is composed of 10 questions. A score ≥42 indicates a hight burnout level
Vicarious trauma subscale of ProQOL From baseline to the end of the follow up at 6 months The ProQOL is composed of 30 questions with 3 subscales : compassion satisfaction, burnout and vicarious trauma. Each response are scored from 1 to 5 . The subscale " Vicarious Trauma " is composed of 10 questions. A score ≥42 indicates a hight vicarious trauma level
Karasek From baseline to the end of the follow up at 6 months The Karasek self-questionnaire assess the "job strain ". It is composed of 3 susbscales : the psychological demand, the Decision latitude and the Social support at work. A decision-making latitude score \< 72 and a Psychological Demand score ≥ 21 is associated with a Job Strain
WRQoL (QwOL) From baseline to the end of the follow up at 6 months The Work-related Quality of Life is composed of 23 questions. It evaluates 6 dimensions: the feeling of being involved in decisions (3 assertions), appreciation of work organization and general satisfaction (7), help with external demands (3), satisfaction with working conditions (3), satisfaction with the ability to do one's job (6) and stress at work (2).

A high score is associated with significant interference of work with private life
