About this study

Official title: Audiovisual Tool Use in the ICU, to Impact the Anxiety Level of Patients' Surrogates While Deciding on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Video or No Video to decrease HCPOA/LAR anxiety and increase knowledge as it pertains to CPR.

Read the detailed description

Designated surrogate decision makers of 30 medical intensive care unit patients will be consented and enrolled to receive either a video describing CPR and it's outcomes after standard of care code discussions versus standard of care code discussions alone. All participants will complete a short questionnaire to determine their knowledge level regarding CPR and to assess their anxiety levels. Patients who view the video will also rate their comfort level while watching the video on a 5 point Likert scale.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CPR VideoOther

    A 7.07 minutes' CPR video will be administered to the ICU patients' surrogates in Group B.

    After viewing the video, the surrogate will complete the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, a five-question survey about CPR, and a one-question form about comfort using the Likert Scale.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measure the impact of CPR video on the Surrogate's level of anxiety during the decision-making process on code status, in the ICU compared to the control group of surrogates (No intervention group).

    30 surrogates in the ICU (15 in the intervention group and 15 in the No intervention group) will be administered the validated Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), to measure the surrogates' anxiety level . The HAM-A questionnaire has been validated to assess for anxiety, and classify anxiety.

    The Score in HAM-A is on a scale of 0 to 56 total score, when it is less than 17 there is no anxiety or mild; 18-24 is mild to moderate; 25-30 is moderate to severe; and 30-56 is severe anxiety.

    The HAM-A questionnaire has been validated to assess change in anxiety after an intervention or treatment, with a delta in total score of 8 with a Standard deviation of 1.7.

    Measured: 2.5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Measure the impact of CPR video on patients' surrogate's knowledge about CPR, when compared to the No intervention group.

    Knowledge assessment will be performed with a 5 questions (1 point each) questionnaire.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Analyze the surrogates' comfort when watching the video.

    Surrogate in the intervention group will be asked if he or she if feeling comfortable watching the video. This will be a single question that will be answered using a Likert Scale.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Describe if the CPR video's impact on surrogates' anxiety level, is affected by the patient's severity of illness as per the SOFA score.

    Will calculate patients' SOFA score which is the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. It is used to grade patients' severity of organs dysfunction and mortality. The SOFA Score is on a scale of 0-24, with higher numbers correlating with higher organs dysfunction and mortality.

    Measured: 3 years

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure the impact of CPR video on the Surrogate's level of anxiety during the decision-making process on code status, in the ICU compared to the control group of surrogates (No intervention group). (time frame: 2.5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03630965, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
