Study summary

Given the stress, exhaustion and close interface with death that Intensive Care Unit (ICU) health care providers face, this study will evaluate burnout rates in intensive care unit (icu) physicians, nurses and ancillary staff. Investigators will also study the effect on a bereavement card on these burnout rates

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate:

  1. Burnout rates among nurses and ancillary staff with the Abbreviated Maslach burnout inventory. This is a well validated tool that is used to evaluate symptoms of burnout such as denationalization, emotional exhaustion and lack of personal accomplishment.
  2. Burnout rates at the beginning of and at the end of the house staff's ICU rotation to gauge the effect of an ICU rotation on burnout rates amon medical trainees.
  3. Determine whether the introduction of a bereavement card will improve symptoms of burnout as gauged by the abbreviated maslach burnout inventory
  4. Staff perceptions and response to the introduction of a bereavement

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Mar 2018 to primary completion in Aug 2018, 5 months.

Of 128 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Burnout, Professional, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 22. This study's 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 132 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 23.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 5, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
