Official title
Impact of Intensive Care Unit Nurse Participation in Post - ICU (Intensive Care Unit) Follow Up Clinic
Overview
The objective of this study is to learn more about the impact of a longitudinal encounter between critical care nurses and former intensive care unit patients. This study will enroll 10 patients that had been admitted in an ICU to meet with a former nurse that had taken care of them in the ICU. The study will enroll 20 nurses that had taken care of these patients in the ICU. The study will randomize 10 nurses to be in the encounter group and 10 nurses to be assigned to the control group. Only nurses assigned to the encounter group will meet with the patients at their post-ICU clinic.
Interventions
- Behavioral Nurse Encounter Group
Nurses in this group will meet with former ICU patients in a post ICU clinic visit. This will be a structured meeting for approximately 15 minutes with the nurse and former patient. The encounter will be observed by a member of the research team. Surveys will be completed before and after the visits. Additionally, nurses will be interviewed 4-7 days after meeting with their former patients. - Other Nurse control group
This group will complete surveys.
Primary outcome measures
- Change in medical ICU nurse fulfillment toward the ICU following an encounter with a former ICU patient in the post-ICU clinic using an adapted Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index [Time frame: Baseline, at the follow-up ICU clinic visit for the encounter group (approximately 2-4 weeks after discharge)]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Change in medical ICU nurse burnout following an encounter with a former ICU patient in the post-ICU clinic [Time frame: Baseline, at the follow-up ICU clinic visit for the encounter group (approximately 2-4 weeks after discharge)]
