Critical Care Clinical Trial
— FAMEOfficial title:
Measuring Family Engagement in Care (The FAME Study)
There are currently no validated tools to specifically measure family engagement in the intensive care unit (ICU). To address this gap, an interdisciplinary team developed a novel instrument to measure family engagement in the ICU. This will be a prospective observational cohort with an embedded qualitative study to validate the FAMily Engagement (FAME) instrument in the ICU setting. This study will also evaluate the association between family activation, engagement, and family-centred outcomes, and exploring factors (age, relationship, sex, gender, race/ethnicity) that may influence family engagement in the ICU.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Family engagement in care (as measured by FAME) | The FAMily Engagement (FAME) questionnaire is an instrument developed to assess current family engagement practice. Items address key principles of family-centered care, such as dignity and respect, information sharing, participation, and collaboration. They also address family engagement domains, including family presence, family needs, communication and education, decision making, and direct care. A five-point Likert scale (1=strongly agree, 2=agree, 3=neutral, 4=disagree, 5=strongly disagree) is used for responses, which are then transformed to a 0-100 scoring system, with higher scores indicating greater engagement in care and lower scores indicating lesser engagement in care. The overall engagement score is calculated by dividing the sum of the scores by the number of questions answered, with the result ranging from 0-100. | Within 24 hours of enrolment | |
Secondary | Family activation (as measured by FAM-Activate) | FAM-Activate is a 4-question measure that assesses the family member's knowledge, skills, and confidence concerning care participation. | Within 24 hours of enrolment | |
Secondary | Family mental health (as measured by HADS) | The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) survey is a validated self-reported instrument to measure anxiety and depression in medical patients. The survey consists of 14 questions (7 depression-related and 7 anxiety-related) which are scored on a 4-point Likert scale (0-3). The sum of the sub-scores on each of the two subscales (anxiety and depression) represents the total score. A lower total score indicates a milder condition whereas a higher total score indicates a higher level of distress. | Within 2 weeks of hospital discharge. | |
Secondary | Family care satisfaction (as measured by FS-ICU 24) | The Family Satisfaction in the ICU survey (FS-ICU 24) is a validated 24-item self-report instrument that assesses family satisfaction and experience with care in the ICU. | Within 2 weeks of hospital discharge. |
