Summary

Researchers at the University of Athens are studying burnout among ICU doctors, nurses and psychologists who take part in the EPIC tele-palliative-care program. About 100 clinicians from 28 intensive care units complete the same four-part survey twice: once during usual care and again during the program. The survey measures workplace stressors, burnout using two standard scales, and self-compassion. The goal is to see whether the program changes burnout and self-compassion scores over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a tele-palliative-care program with a blended-learning curriculum and standardized teleconsultations
What this could lead to
If the program helps, hospitals could use similar tele-palliative-care training to support ICU staff and reduce burnout.
What could go wrong
This is a small survey study within one trial, so it cannot prove that the program causes any change. Burnout has many causes, and self-reported answers may not reflect lasting effects.

The study will enroll \~100 multidisciplinary ICU clinicians-staff physicians, registered nurses and advanced practice providers-who have been continuously assigned to participating adult intensive care units for at least three months prior to study start. All participants will complete Greek-language pre- and during-intervention psychometric surveys and engage in the tele-palliative care educational intervention. Temporary or locum staff not continuously on the unit and those on leave during either survey period are excluded.
