详细描述
The ESCAPE study intends to assess the possibility of recruiting students as surge capacity work force in hospitals in event of a major medical incident such as an epidemic or pandemic. The study consists of two parts:
- To identify the need for student surge capacity work force in relevant departments most affected by major medical incidents (e.g. Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, etc.). This part also raises the question of which tasks can be delegated to such a surge capacity workforce and which training may be required to prepare for such tasks.
- To identify and quantify the willingness of students to enroll as surge capacity workforce, identifying which tasks they would be willing to perform and which organisational framework is required for their work (training, insurance, pay, etc.).
Both subparts as planned as questionnaires to be completed voluntarily and anonymously.
