About this study
Official title: Swiss Cohort of Health Professionals and Informal Caregivers - SCOHPICA
The healthcare system is continuously evolving to adapt to the population's needs, both in terms of healthcare practices, and in financial and organizational aspects. The current COVID-19 pandemic has added additional pressure to the healthcare system and shown its limits in terms of preparedness. It has also shown once again that both healthcare professionals (HCPs) and informal caregivers (ICs) play a central role for the functioning of the healthcare system.
An increasing number of studies are alerting on HCPs' situation, regarding their physical and mental health (e.g. emotional exhaustion, professional well-being) on the one hand, and the functioning of the healthcare system (e.g. absenteeism, turnover, career change) on the other hand.

Besides healthcare professionals, ICs, defined as "a person in the immediate entourage of an individual whose health and/or autonomy is impaired and who requires assistance with certain [basic or instrumental] activities of daily living. The IC provides the person, on a non-professional and informal basis, and on a regular basis, with assistance, care or presence services of varying nature and intensity, designed to compensate for their incapacities or difficulties or to ensure their safety, identity and social ties". Caring for others has shown to have negative impact on the ICs' life, in terms of health-related implications, psychological burden, quality of life, etc. Despite being increasingly recognized as having a key role in the provision of care, they have only been limitedly considered in studies on healthcare professionals.
In that context, the investigators develop SCOHPICA project, the Swiss cohort of healthcare professionals and informal caregivers, which is an open prospective national cohort using a concurrent embedded mixed method design. This project targets all types of HCPs and ICs, and will investigate determinants of intent to stay and well-being according to participants' trajectories.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Professional trajectories (HCPs), constructed from socio-professional variables [1]
Professional trajectories will be formulated based on socio-professional information (current and past occupation, education, work setting, career continuity, part-time contracts). Clustering procedures will be used to group healthcare professionals with similar trajectories, building thus a typology of professional trajectories in the Swiss health workforce.
Measured: At baseline
Professional trajectories (HCPs), constructed from socio-professional variables [2]
Follow-up data will be used to complement the professional trajectories constructed on baseline socio-professional information. Changes in the variables which form the trajectories will be assessed and new typologies will be derived from the enhanced trajectories.
Measured: 1 year after the baseline
Professional trajectories (HCPs), constructed from socio-professional variables [3]
Follow-up data will be used to complement the professional trajectories constructed on baseline socio-professional information. Changes in the variables which form the trajectories will be assessed and new typologies will be derived from the enhanced trajectories.
Measured: 2 years after the baseline
Professional trajectories (HCPs), constructed from socio-professional variables [4]
Follow-up data will be used to complement the professional trajectories constructed on baseline socio-professional information. Changes in the variables which form the trajectories will be assessed and new typologies will be derived from the enhanced trajectories.
Measured: 3 years after the baseline
Professional trajectories (HCPs), constructed from socio-professional variables [5]
Follow-up data will be used to complement the professional trajectories constructed on baseline socio-professional information. Changes in the variables which form the trajectories will be assessed and new typologies will be derived from the enhanced trajectories.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The healthcare system is continuously evolving to adapt to the population's needs, both in terms of healthcare practices, and in financial and organizational aspects. The current COVID-19 pandemic has added additional pressure to the healthcare system and shown its limits in terms of preparedness. It has also shown once again that both healthcare professionals (HCPs) and informal caregivers (ICs) play a central role for the functioning of the healthcare system.
An increasing number of studies are alerting on HCPs' situation, regarding their physical and mental health (e.g. emotional exhaustion, professional well-being) on the one hand, and the functioning of the healthcare system (e.g. absenteeism, turnover, career change) on the other hand.
Besides healthcare professionals, ICs, defined as "a person in the immediate entourage of an individual whose health and/or autonomy is impaired and who requires assistance with certain [basic or instrumental] activities of daily living. The IC provides the person, on a non-professional and informal basis, and on a regular basis, with assistance, care or presence services of varying nature and intensity, designed to compensate for their incapacities or difficulties or to ensure their safety, identity and social ties".

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Healthcare Professional and Informal Caregiver, run by Center for Primary Care and Public Health (Unisante), University of Lausanne, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Study coordinator (+41 21 314 77 25, scohpica@unisante.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Professional trajectories (HCPs), constructed from socio-professional variables [1] (time frame: At baseline). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05571488, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
