The Impact of the Family Room App on Caregivers (NCT06463158)
A Phase I Clinical Trial Evaluating the Impact of the Family Room App on Caregiver Well-being, Satisfaction, and Engagement in the Intensive Care Unit
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Engaging families in patient care during serious illness can enhance care quality, reduce social isolation, boost satisfaction, and lower healthcare costs. However, active involvement of family caregivers remains limited because there are no evidence-based tools to guide clinicians on how to include them effectively. This study will test and refine previously developed point-of-care application, Family Room, and determine its effectiveness by comparison with a control group. A series of surveys will be used to evaluate caregiver well-being, engagement and satisfaction.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (3 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (2 items).
