Overview
This study is being conducted to describe the impact of a meeting between patients that were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and a provider that cared for the patients during the period of critical illness. The study team is aiming to describe the effect this meeting has on the physician that previously cared for the patient. The study team hypothesizes that facilitating involvement in post-ICU clinic and creating longitudinal relationships between providers of critical care and survivors of critical illness will have positive effects on trainees, both in professional fulfillment and burnout scores and in perceptions of critical care.
Detailed description
Physicians and patients that had been cared for in the ICU will be enrolled in this project. Residents that are recruited will be randomized to the encounter group or the control group.
Interventions
- Behavioral Encounter visit with Patients
Participants in this encounter group will be asked to complete a pre and post-intervention survey, participate in a meeting with a former ICU patient at a post-ICU clinic, and undergo an in-person interview within fourteen days following the encounter. - Behavioral Non-encounter surveys
Surveys will be completed pre and post patient follow-up.
Primary outcome measures
- Changes in the Professional Fulfillment Scale [Time frame: Baseline (pre-post ICU follow-up visit), approximately 14 days post patient's follow-up visit]
- Changes in the Burnout Scale [Time frame: Baseline (pre-post ICU follow-up visit), approximately 14 days post patient's follow-up visit]
