NCT ID NCT06944821
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether in-person simulation training—where ICU staff practice handling life-threatening emergencies in their own unit—can improve their quality of work life and teamwork. 90 nurses and nursing assistants took part. The goal was to see if this training reduces burnout and boosts compassion satisfaction.
