What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This trial tests whether a constructivist educational program, which uses small-group, interactive learning, helps nurses and cleaning staff in intensive care units better follow preventive care bundles for ventilator-associated pneumonia. Researchers will compare the rate of pneumonia among patients on ventilators in two ICUs over six months: one where staff receive the constructivist training and one where they receive routine training. The goal is to see if this teaching style improves prevention practices and lowers infection rates.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Constructivist educational program about ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention
What this could lead to
If it works, this training approach could reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units, improving patient outcomes and shortening hospital stays.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, so results may not apply broadly. The outcome depends on staff adherence and patient factors, and the study does not yet prove the training causes a lasting reduction.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 51 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Sep 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
