Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if reactivating a hospital program called "Plus de temps au service des patients" (PTP) can improve the quality of pain management for patients and increase job satisfaction among healthcare professionals. The main questions this study aims to answer are:

• Does reactivating PTP improve the quality of pain management?
• Does reactivating PTP increase healthcare professionals' job satisfaction? In this study, researchers will compare the effects of reactivating the program immediately to reactivating it after a 3-month delay.

Participants in the trial are healthcare professionals who will:

• Select 2 or 3 elements of the program they believe would be most beneficial to reactivate in their hospital units.
• Implement the selected elements for 3 months.
• Complete job satisfaction and burnout questionnaires before and after the study.

764 participants in 2 patient groups

Immediate reactivation

Experimental group

Description:

Our intervention will be booster measure of the existing PTP elements that will be designed for each unit that has been randomized to the immediate intervention group. The booster will consist in a reactivation through audit and feedback of 2-3 elements of the PTP program. The selection of the elements to boost will be done locally in each unit through a coordinated discussion between representants of the PTP organization and representants of the unit's medical and nursing professionals. This will create an adaptable intervention that will feature selected standards among the list of 36 existing standards. The boost will be performed over 3 months

Treatment:

Behavioral: Immediate reactivation

Delayed reactivation

No Intervention group

Description:

The control intervention will also be PTP as applied usually, in the control group before the application of the booster measure (applied delayed by three months).
