About this study

Official title: Adherence to and Understanding of a Therapeutic Education Program for Patients With Central Venous Lines

The aim of this project is to evaluate, in a prospective cohort of PICC line patients, adherence to the project and understanding of the messages.

The transmission of knowledge and the acquisition of skills by patients with this type of invasive device will enable them to play an active role in their own care, and could help to reduce the frequency of risks.

This project is part of a collaborative approach that includes the creation of a mobile application for therapeutic education and monitoring (application under development). The evaluation of the device will be the subject of a national PHRC with national structures (SPIADI and PRIMO). The aim is to create a city-hospital collaboration to improve risk management.

Read the detailed description

The ever-increasing use of central venous lines, including PICC lines, and the shift in medical practice towards ambulatory care, are making it increasingly complex to prevent the infectious and non-infectious risks associated with their use.

The involvement of numerous healthcare professionals within and outside the hospital, with varying levels of training, exposes patients to numerous complications, the incidence of which, depending on the device, ranges from 6 to 16%, and occur at the time of insertion (hematoma, pneumothorax, necrosis) or during use (infection, thrombosis, extravasation).

The transmission of knowledge and the acquisition of skills by patients wearing this type of invasive device helps to make the patient a player in his or her own care, and could help to reduce the frequency of risks. As part of a therapeutic education program, we aim to validate the communication tools and messages identified by a panel of French experts. These messages, together with the article published by Petit et al, have enabled us to draw up a skills reference framework for patients with a PICC line.

The aim of this project is to evaluate adherence to the project and understanding of the messages on a prospective cohort of patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess patients' level of understanding of communication tools.

    The level of comprehension will be assessed on the acquisition of the main messages and will be expressed as a percentage of correct answers.

    Measured: WEEK 6 POST INCLUSION

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Estimating patient adherence to communication tools

    Adherence to communication tools will be assessed by the frequency of participation in the various webinars proposed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Therapeutic Education Program and Prevention, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Assess patients' level of understanding of communication tools. (time frame: WEEK 6 POST INCLUSION). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2026.
