Official title
A Multidisciplinary Framework for ICU Conflict Mediation: Rationale and Methodological Approach to Enhancing Safety and Care Quality
Overview
To evaluate the impact of a structured, multidisciplinary conflict management program incorporating an interprofessional Singular Care Plan \*PAS\* Committee and a Conflict Mediation Team on the incidence and severity of conflicts, family satisfaction, and staff well-being in an adult intensive care unit \*ICU\*
Detailed description
The allocation is non randomized because the intervention is implemented at the level of the intensive care unit and cannot ethically or practically be restricted to a subset of patients or staff. The masking status is open label, as it is not feasible to blind staff or families to the presence of a conflict mediator or the convening of a committee. The primary purpose of the study is health services research, specifically the evaluation of an institutional policy for conflict management and its impact on conflict dynamics, safety and experience in critical care.
Interventions
- Behavioral SEM DESTINO
The Conflict Mediation Team is composed of trained facilitators who can be activated by any assistential collaborator when a conflict in progress exceeds the collaborator's capacity to manage it. The Singular Care Plan Committee is convened by the facilitator in complex cases that require broader, interprofessional analysis and the elaboration of a documented care plan based on the SEM DESTINO mnemonic
Primary outcome measures
- -conflict index [Time frame: 12 months]
- Prevalence of post-traumatic stress symptoms in ICU family member [Time frame: 6 months after ICU discharge]
