Hulpmiddelen voor tracheostomiezorg thuis stimuleren (BREATHE)
Hulpmiddelen en empowerment van zorgverleners stimuleren voor trach-zorg thuis: een pragmatisch gerandomiseerd onderzoek
The goal of this trial is to advance the understanding of how to best support caregivers of children with tracheostomies who are caring for their child at home. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What are the best ways to support caregivers post-discharge with both medical and nonmedical decisions about resuming life, work, and family activities, while safely caring for their child with a tracheostomy at home?
- How can the investigators leverage existing technology to facilitate communication between inpatient and outpatient care teams to better support needs of pediatric patients and caregivers post-discharge?
Caregiver participants will be randomly assigned to receive Trach Me Home (gold standard discharge program) or Trach Me Home with additional components. Caregiver participants will complete three surveys over the course of 6 months. Researchers will see if caregivers in the Trach Me Home with additional components report lower caregiver burden at 4 weeks post discharge (primary outcome) and fewer hospital readmissions at 6 months than those in Trach Me Home arm.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
The study is focused on a rare and medically complex population of children with tracheostomies. The study is a Type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation study using a pragmatic randomized trial at six participating sites. The goal of this trial is to advance the understanding of how to best support caregivers of children with tracheostomies who are caring for their child at home. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
- What are the best ways to support caregivers post-discharge with both medical and nonmedical decisions about resuming life, work, and family activities, while safely caring for their child with a tracheostomy at home?
- How can the investigators leverage existing technology to facilitate communication between inpatient and outpatient care teams to better support needs of pediatric patients and caregivers post-discharge?
Caregiver participants will randomly assigned to the Comparator arm (gold standard discharge program) or to the Intervention arm (gold standard program with other components). Caregiver participants will complete three surveys over the course of 6 months. The investigators will test two main hypotheses: the Intervention arm will have (1) significantly lower caregiver burden at 4 weeks post discharge (primary outcome) and (2) significantly lower readmissions or emergency room visits at 6 months post discharge than the Comparator arm.
The investigators will also survey pediatricians of participating patients at 6 months post discharge and examine whether intervention arm pediatricians have higher satisfaction with discharge communication than those in comparator arm.

Beschrijving IPD-plan
To promote research replicability, transparency and future use of the data, de-identified data sets will be created and will be available, by request, to outside researchers.
The Data Package (comprised of the de-identified Analyzable Data Set, Full Protocol, metadata, data dictionary, full statistical analysis plan, and analytic code from the project) will be deposited in the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute's Data Repository at the ICPSR. Participant information sheets for the study will indicate that de-identified information will be deposited in an open access service to promote use of the data by other researchers. No information that contains identifiers or that could be used to link an individual to the data will be included in the de-identified data set. No data will be provided from qualitative transcripts as this may lead to identifying information about participants. However, codes abstracted from qualitative transcripts may be made available.
IPD-tijdsbestek voor delen
After study results have been published, about 1 year after the end of the funded grant period, the study materials and de-identified data will be placed on an open access service such as ICPSR where they will be available indefinitely.
IPD-toegangscriteria voor delen
Researchers may access the data through the PCORI-designated repository (ICPSR's website) once it is made available.
