About this study

The primary purpose of this study is to better understand the impact of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) THRIVE Collaboratives on patients, their families and clinicians.

The investigators have formed an international and interprofessional evaluative team with experts in the field in an effort to explore interactions between survivors and THRIVE. This approach is reflective of the international ethos of SCCM and its collaboratives, with the potential to improve the generalizability of this survivorship research to different health systems.

Read the detailed description

The aims of this qualitative study are:

  1. To identify elements that helped survivors in their recovery, as well as potential obstacles
  2. To capture elements of survivorshop that are generalizable, regardless of participation in the THRIVE collaboratives
  3. To gain knowledge to be incorporated back into the collaboratives

Patients, family members, and clinicians will be interviewed and their responses analyzed for themes of ICU recovery including elements that patients and families find helpful to recovery, barriers and facilitators to different models of post-ICU support, including peer support and post-ICU clinics, and drivers of improvement in post-ICU care. Patients, carers, and clinicians with a wide variety of survivorship experiences are encouraged to participate, including those who have participated in a THRIVE collaborative support site (peer support or clinic).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Australia. 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?

Survivorship Experiences from Patients (time frame: 18 months). 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.
