SET-to-Meet; Pilot Testing of a Nurse-led Intervention (SET-to-Meet)
SET-to-Meet; Pilot Testing of a Nurse-led Intervention to Ensure Routine Interdisciplinary Family Meetings in ICUs
Study Overview
Detailed Description
The intervention components are: a protocol for interdisciplinary family meetings that is tailored to the individual ICU unit and steps in the SET-to-Meet process: 1.) Screening of patients on admission to determine if patient meets criteria for a family meeting; 2.) proactively Engaging family members to inform them about the unit's protocol for family meetings and to find out who from the family might attend the meeting; and Tracking the progress of setting up the meeting (identifying the patient during ICU team rounds as a patient meeting criteria for a family meeting; discussing setting up the meeting with the ICU team; scheduling the meeting and communicating details to attendees.)
Implementation of the intervention includes: 1.) Working with the site ICU physician and nursing leadership to tailor the SET-to-meet protocol and tracking tool for family meetings, ensuring they are customized for the unit workflow and staffing model, and 2.) Providing on-line training and 2 weeks of on-site coaching to ICU nursing staff, care management/social work staff, and intensivists (MD and APP) in the use of the tailored protocol and tracking tool.
Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed by percentage of staff completing training, adherence to elements of the intervention, and number of patients meeting enrollment criteria. Acceptability will be assessed via focus groups and a survey testing satisfaction with the intervention.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: SET-to-MEET
This is a single arm, open trial that will be conducted in parallel in 3 separate ICUs.
Each site will receive the SET-to-MEET intervention.
|
The overall objective of this study is to pilot test, in advance of a larger randomized trial, a scalable, nurse-led intervention to ensure timely interdisciplinary family meetings are held on behalf of critically-ill ICU patients who cannot participate in discussions about their care.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Feasibility of training the staff for the intervention, as measured by percent of staff members completing on-line training
Time Frame: At the completion of the two week training phase which will occur immediately prior to initiating the 3-month pilot of the intervention
|
Feasibility of using online training will be assessed by percent of staff members who complete the on-line training during the two week training phase.
|
At the completion of the two week training phase which will occur immediately prior to initiating the 3-month pilot of the intervention
|
Feasibility of patient recruitment at the site, as measured by the volume of eligible patients admitted to the pilot ICU during the pilot phase.
Time Frame: At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
|
Feasibility of recruitment will be assessed by the volume of eligible patient admitted to the pilot ICU.
|
At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
|
Adherence to elements of intervention protocol
Time Frame: Throughout the 3 month pilot phase
|
Adherence to steps in the intervention protocol for eligible patients will be assessed by review of tracking forms, questions to staff about patient screening and about engagement with family members, and direct observation of staff during interdisciplinary team rounds.
|
Throughout the 3 month pilot phase
|
Acceptability of the intervention to clinicians assessed via focus groups
Time Frame: At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
|
Acceptability of the intervention will be evaluated using focus group sessions with physicians, social workers, care managers, and nurses.
Using a semi-structured interview guide, we will elicit detailed information about staff satisfaction with the intervention; the clinician experience of participating in the intervention; staff-perceived value of the intervention to patients and families; and suggestions for improvement.
|
At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
|
Clinician Satisfaction with the intervention assessed via on-line survey
Time Frame: At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
|
Satisfaction of staff with: 1.) the intervention training and 2.) on-site support, as well as perceived value to patients/families and perceived burden of carrying out the intervention will be evaluated using a multi-item, likert-scale scored online survey sent to physicians, social workers, care managers, and nurses.
|
At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Proportion of patients with a family meeting
Time Frame: At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
|
The impact of the intervention will be assessed via the proportion of eligible patients having an interdisciplinary family meeting.
|
At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
|
Time elapsed until the first family meeting
Time Frame: At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot
|
The impact of the intervention will be assessed via the mean time from enrollment to the first interdisciplinary family meeting.
|
At the conclusion of the 3-month pilot

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)
Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?
IPD Plan Description
This study will be conducted at sites within two different health systems, Allegheny Health Network and Excela Health, each with their own Institutional Review Board (IRB). The data use agreements with those respective organizations are pending, and we do not yet know the conditions and specifically, if and under what circumstances data sharing will be permitted.
Provided data sharing is permitted, and in accordance with those agreements, academic collaborators of the Principal Investigator outside of the University of Pittsburgh may have access to participant data collected during the trial, after de-identification. These outside collaborators will obtain their own IRB approval for their role.
