Trial summary

The quality of care associated with medical procedures, such as procedural sedation, has historically been assessed from the perspective of the healthcare professional, wherein the appropriateness of the services provided and the skill with which this care was performed were considered.

About this study

The quality of care associated with medical procedures, such as procedural sedation, has historically been assessed from the perspective of the healthcare professional, wherein the appropriateness of the services provided and the skill with which this care was performed were considered. However, more recently, the perspectives of consumers of healthcare services (i.e. the patients) have also been sought in the form of patient satisfaction. A review of the literature shows that patient satisfaction is routinely assessed when determining the effectiveness of sedation; however, it is less frequently assessed as the primary outcome. In child-specific, validated studies, limitations are noted with respect to being validated in a language other than English and failing to encompass a variety of procedures. As a result, these validated tools are not appropriate for use with pediatric populations undergoing procedural sedation in North America, nor are these validated tools amenable to comparison with our proposed tool.

Read the detailed description

Due to the central unit procedural sedation team servicing several areas of specialty, a varied patient satisfaction tool is required to ensure all concerns pertaining to sedation in each specialty are addressed, as well as allowing consistency between specialties to be examined. Therefore, the objective is to develop and validate a procedural sedation satisfaction tool for use with a variety of specialties requiring pediatric procedural sedation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03468608
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Phase 1: Instrument DevelopmentAn initial set of questionnaire items will be created based on the questionnaires noted in the literature review as well as the semi-structured interviews conducted with parents and healthcare team members in our facility.
Phase 2: Pre-Test EvaluationParents and healthcare team members will be asked to comment on the quality of the draft questionnaire created in phase 1 of this study.
Phase 3: PilotParents will be asked to complete the questionnaire developed during phase 2 of this study. Upon completing the questionnaire, parents will be asked to rate the overall face validity of the tool using a 5-point Likert scale. Healthcare team members will be asked to rate the content validity of each item on the questionnaire.
Phase 4: ValidationParents will be asked to complete the questionnaire developed during phase 3 of this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Parental Satisfaction with Procedural Sedation

    determined via development/validation of a parental satisfaction tool

    Measured: immediately proceeding procedural sedation experience

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Satisfaction, run by The Hospital for Sick Children at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2023. 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Parental Satisfaction with Procedural Sedation (time frame: immediately proceeding procedural sedation experience). 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 5 Apr 2023.
