Study summary

To evaluate the impact of a structured, multidisciplinary conflict management program incorporating an interprofessional Singular Care Plan *PAS* Committee and a Conflict Mediation Team on the incidence and severity of conflicts, family satisfaction, and staff well-being in an adult intensive care unit *ICU*

Read the detailed description

The allocation is non randomized because the intervention is implemented at the level of the intensive care unit and cannot ethically or practically be restricted to a subset of patients or staff. The masking status is open label, as it is not feasible to blind staff or families to the presence of a conflict mediator or the convening of a committee. The primary purpose of the study is health services research, specifically the evaluation of an institutional policy for conflict management and its impact on conflict dynamics, safety and experience in critical care.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Structured Conflict Management Program

    All participants will be part of a single arm titled "Structured Conflict Management Program". The intervention is an organizational and behavioral program that introduces a Conflict Mediation Team and a Singular Care Plan Committee in the intensive care unit, grounded in nonviolent communication. The Conflict Mediation Team is composed of trained facilitators who can be activated by any assistential collaborator when a conflict in progress exceeds the collaborator's capacity to manage it. The Singular Care Plan Committee is convened by the facilitator in complex cases that require broader, interprofessional analysis and the elaboration of a documented care plan based on the SEM DESTINO mnemonic.
