Cardiac ICU staff to test new teamwork training for safer patient care
NCT ID NCT07360366
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special training program can help doctors, nurses, and assistants work better together in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). About 60 staff and students will take part in interactive, computer-based scenarios that mimic real-life situations. Researchers will measure teamwork, decision-making, and job satisfaction before training, right after, and six months later to see if the program makes a lasting difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- interactive scenario-based training program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this training could improve teamwork and communication in cardiac ICUs, potentially leading to safer patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with only 60 participants. It measures attitudes and perceptions, not direct patient outcomes, so real-world impact is uncertain.
