简要总结
While interdisciplinary family meetings are evidence-based and part of usual care, this study seeks to test a novel set of implementation strategies (the SET-to-Meet intervention) to improve adherence to best practice guidelines for interdisciplinary family meetings. SET stands for Screen-Engage-Track; SET-to Meet is a nurse-led, team based intervention to ensure routine interdisciplinary family meetings are held on behalf of incapacitated, critically-ill patients in ICUs. This study is a feasibility and acceptability pilot test of the intervention.
详细描述
The intervention components are: a protocol for interdisciplinary family meetings that is tailored to the individual ICU unit and steps in the SET-to-Meet process: 1.) Screening of patients on admission to determine if patient meets criteria for a family meeting; 2.) proactively Engaging family members to inform them about the unit's protocol for family meetings and to find out who from the family might attend the meeting; and Tracking the progress of setting up the meeting (identifying the patient during ICU team rounds as a patient meeting criteria for a family meeting; discussing setting up the meeting with the ICU team; scheduling the meeting and communicating details to attendees.)
Implementation of the intervention includes: 1.) Working with the site ICU physician and nursing leadership to tailor the SET-to-meet protocol and tracking tool for family meetings, ensuring they are customized for the unit workflow and staffing model, and 2.) Providing on-line training and 2 weeks of on-site coaching to ICU nursing staff, care management/social work staff, and intensivists (MD and APP) in the use of the tailored protocol and tracking tool.
Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed by percentage of staff completing training, adherence to elements of the intervention, and number of patients meeting enrollment criteria. Acceptability will be assessed via focus groups and a survey testing satisfaction with the intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility of training the staff for the intervention, as measured by percent of staff members completing on-line training
时间窗: At the completion of the two week training phase which will occur immediately prior to initiating the 3-month pilot of the intervention
Feasibility of using online training will be assessed by percent of staff members who complete the on-line training during the two week training phase.
Adherence to elements of intervention protocol
时间窗: Throughout the 3 month pilot phase
Adherence to steps in the intervention protocol for eligible patients will be assessed by review of tracking forms, questions to staff about patient screening and about engagement with family members, and direct observation of staff during interdisciplinary team rounds.
Feasibility of patient recruitment at the site, as measured by the volume of eligible patients admitted to the pilot ICU during the pilot phase.
时间窗: At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
Feasibility of recruitment will be assessed by the volume of eligible patient admitted to the pilot ICU.
Clinician Satisfaction with the intervention assessed via on-line survey
时间窗: At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
Satisfaction of staff with: 1.) the intervention training and 2.) on-site support, as well as perceived value to patients/families and perceived burden of carrying out the intervention will be evaluated using a multi-item, likert-scale scored online survey sent to physicians, social workers, care managers, and nurses.
Acceptability of the intervention to clinicians assessed via focus groups
时间窗: At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
Acceptability of the intervention will be evaluated using focus group sessions with physicians, social workers, care managers, and nurses. Using a semi-structured interview guide, we will elicit detailed information about staff satisfaction with the intervention; the clinician experience of participating in the intervention; staff-perceived value of the intervention to patients and families; and suggestions for improvement.
次要结局
- Proportion of patients with a family meeting(At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot)
- Time elapsed until the first family meeting(At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot)
