NCT ID: NCT06376188 Completed - Communication Clinical Trials

Improving Breaking Bad News in Pediatrics by Simulated Communication

SimCom
Start date: September 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Breaking bad news, especially a death notice, is an essential part of the medical profes-sional communication. Being inadequately trained in those skills this may result in un-pleasant psychosocial consequences for everyone involved. This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial evaluated the delivery of a death notice to simulation parents out of the perspective of these parents (professional actors), the participants (students) and by video analysis. The simulation patient has prior unexpectedly died during a simulated resuscitation. The intervention group broke the bad news after receiving a short communication

NCT ID: NCT06266325 Completed - Dementia Clinical Trials

Development and Validation of a Dementia Life Expectancy Tool

Start date: April 1, 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Individuals with dementia and their caregivers are faced with challenging decisions throughout the course of the disease. These decisions may be about medical care (e.g., continuation of routine cancer screening, pursuit of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, initiation of palliative care services), institutionalization (i.e., transition to a long-term care facility), or financial planning. These inherently difficult decisions are made more difficult by prognostic uncertainty. Indeed, life expectancy is challenging to predict in dementia. Consequently, prognosis is infrequently discussed by healthcare providers with individuals with dementia and their families, which compromises their ability to plan for the future. A lack of prognostic awareness makes it difficult for patients, their caregivers, and their healthcare providers to make medical decisions that strike the appropriate balance between prolonging life and promoting the quality of it. A clinical prediction tool has the promise to provide personalized and accurate estimations of life expectancy in individuals with dementia. Therefore, similar to the existing clinical prediction tools on our Project Big Life platform (www.projectbiglife.ca), we seek to create and to test a statistical model to predict survival, and to implement the model as a user-friendly, web-based calculator. The calculator will use self-reported sociodemographic, clinical, cognitive, functional, and nutritional information that is entered by patients, their caregivers, and/or their healthcare providers to output an estimated life expectancy. This estimate could inform the shared decision-making process, thereby empowering decisions that are compatible with a patient's clinical reality and concordant with their life goals.

NCT ID: NCT06229782 Completed - Brain Death Clinical Trials

Orbital Artery Doppler Ultrasound in Brain Death

Start date: January 11, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Brain death is the irreversible loss of all activity in the brain, brainstem, and cerebellum, the part of the central nervous system that remains inside the skull. The clinical diagnosis of brain death should be supported by ancillary tests that provide information about cerebral blood flow or electrical activity in the brain. Some of the ancillary tests that evaluate cerebral blood flow include transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TDUS), computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA), and catheter-based cerebral angiography. This study hypothesized that Orbital Doppler ultrasonography (ODUS) alone is more effective than TDUS in detecting intracranial blood flow in diagnosing brain death. To this end, the investigators examined the results of ODUS in patients diagnosed as brain dead who underwent CT angiography.

NCT ID: NCT06211816 Completed - Palliative Care Clinical Trials

Efficacy of End-of-life Communication Strategies on Nurses in the Intensive Care Unit

Start date: September 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Burnout among healthcare workers is frequently reported, and one of the factors cited is the stress caused by end-of-life care. It has been reported that nursing staff experience decreased well-being as a result of being involved in end-of-life care, and this is also true in intensive care units. This decrease in well-being is said to lead to lower quality of care, poor communication with patients and their families, absenteeism, and high turnover. Although palliative care interventions such as education and communication tools have been reported to improve the well-being of healthcare professionals involved in end-of-life care, few reports have evaluated the association with burnout. We investigated whether communication-based palliative interventions in end-of-life care in intensive care units (ICUs) improve the risk of burnout among nurses working in ICUs.

NCT ID: NCT06202508 Completed - Clinical trials for Fetal Death in Utero

Fetal Death in Utero in the Internship Experience of Midwifery Students : an Unavoidable Experience?

MFU
Start date: June 18, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Fetal death in utero and the psychological and professional impact it could have on the midwifery student in training. Fetal death in utero corresponds to the spontaneous cessation of cardiac activity, from 14 weeks of amenorrhea. For a large proportion of midwifery students, fetal death in utero is a situation encountered in the field. Despite the theoretical courses, a student does not expect to encounter this type of situation during the internship: it is delicate for both the supervising caregivers and the student. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact that this situation could have on the midwifery student, both psychologically and in terms of their professional project.

NCT ID: NCT06154759 Completed - Support, Family Clinical Trials

The Effect of Psychoeducation on Hopelessness, Death Anxiety and Caregiver Burden

Start date: July 20, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study was conducted to determine the effect of Watson Human Caring Model-based psychoeducation given to the relatives of patients receiving palliative care on hopelessness, death anxiety and the burden of care.

NCT ID: NCT06082414 Completed - Clinical trials for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Systemic Management in Extremely Preterm and Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants

Start date: January 30, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

to estimate incidences of major complications, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, death, and delivery room resuscitation among extremely preterm and extremely low birth weight infants in Northern China

NCT ID: NCT06081660 Completed - Chronic Disease Clinical Trials

Advance Care Planning for Older Latinos With Chronic Illness

Start date: September 14, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial to learn about implementation of an intervention model, Advance Care Planning I Plan (ACP-I Plan), among older Latinos with chronic illnesses in community settings.

NCT ID: NCT06046261 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Kidney Disease

Exploring the Impact of " ACP Board Game for Life" on Death Preparation and Anxiety in Patients With Stage 4 and 5 Chronic Kidney Diseases: A Pilot Study

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study was to explore the impacts of participating in "ACP board game for life" on death preparation, death anxiety, end-of-life care preferences, and intervention perception in stage 4-5 CKD patients with advanced chronic kidney diseases in a medical center.

NCT ID: NCT05903443 Completed - Brain Death Clinical Trials

Research on the Brain Death Determination in China

RBDDC
Start date: February 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Purpose China has a population of 1.4 billion and an enormous medical expenditure burden, and Chinese traditional culture has a long history. It takes time to recognize and accept the concept of brain death (BD) as death. Promoting brain death determination (BDD) and rationally allocating medical resources have become major national policy issues. To identify the safest and most reliable ancillary tests needed if the clinical examination is incomplete. Method The technical group of the Brain Injury Evaluation Quality Control Center of the National Health Commission retrieved coma cases registered from 2013 to 2019. According to clinical criteria for Brain Death Determination (BDD), the patients were divided into two groups: a brain-death (BD) group and a non-BD group. The BD group was divided into a complete brain death with no doubt group (BD1 group) and an incomplete brain death with doubt group (BD2 group). Depending on the site of the brain injury, the accuracy of BDD was evaluated using the independent ancillary test or combined ancillary tests. Data from the BQCC/NHC database and yearbook were obtained, and data analysis and status comparison were conducted on six practical activities: organizational system construction, standard and specification formulation, case quality control, professional skills training, scientific research publicity and education, and international communication.
