An Intervention to Improve the Experience of Patients in Intermediate and Long-term Care Units
Study on the Impact of an Intervention to Improve the Experience of Patients Admitted to Intermediate and Long-term Care Units
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an intervention that detects and addresses the problems perceived by patients during their hospital stay can improve trust in the hospital among older patients admitted to intermediate and long-term care units. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the intervention increase patients' trust in the hospital, measured as their likelihood of recommending it?
- Does the intervention reduce formal complaints, improve patients' emotional well-being, and improve the job satisfaction of nursing staff? Researchers will compare patients admitted before the intervention was introduced with patients admitted one year after it was introduced to see if trust in the hospital improves.
Participants will:
- Complete, after one month of admission, the hospital's satisfaction questionnaire (which includes the trust question) and a short emotional well-being questionnaire, either themselves or through a relative or caregiver
- In the post-intervention period, be interviewed between days 10 and 15 of admission about the negative aspects of their stay; the results are discussed at multidisciplinary team meetings, where corrective actions are agreed Nursing staff and nursing assistants on the participating wards will complete a job satisfaction questionnaire before and after the intervention.

詳細な説明
This is a quasi-experimental before-and-after study. The primary outcome will be collected cross-sectionally from all eligible patients admitted at a given time before the intervention is implemented, and again from eligible patients admitted one year after implementation. Formal complaints will be collected retrospectively for the year before the intervention and for the intervention year. Patient questionnaires will be completed on paper without personal information and returned in a sealed envelope identified only by a participant code; the envelopes will be opened by independent research staff, and analysts will be blinded to the study period.
The primary analysis will compare the primary outcome between the pre- and post-intervention groups using a superiority approach, with parametric or non-parametric tests as appropriate and multivariable adjustment for potential confounders that differ between periods. Subgroup analyses by type of ward (conventional vs psychogeriatric) are planned. With 93 patients per group, the study has more than 80% power (two-sided alpha 0.05) to detect an increase in the proportion of patients with trust in the institution (score above 7) from 30% to 50%.

Pre-intervention
Patients admitted to intermediate and long-term care units before the intervention is implemented, receiving usual care |
|
|
Post-intervention
Patients admitted to the same units one year after the intervention is implemented |
Between days 10 and 15 of admission, patients (or their relatives or caregivers) are interviewed following a structured script about the negative aspects they perceive in their hospital stay, including quality of care, comfort, medical information, and assistance with daily activities. Responses are classified using the Net Promoter Score framework. The results are presented at the periodic multidisciplinary team meetings, where a personalized action plan is agreed, documented in the clinical record with assigned responsibilities and deadlines, and reassessed at approximately 30 days. |

Trust in the institution
時間枠：After 1 month of admission, in the pre-intervention group and in the post-intervention group
|
Score on the question "If needed, would you recommend Hospital Sant Antoni Abat?" from the hospital's inpatient satisfaction questionnaire, rated from 0 (would never recommend) to 10 (would actively recommend). Higher scores indicate greater trust. A score above 7 is considered to indicate trust in the institution. |
