Heart care goes beyond medicine: hospital tests Quality-of-Life tracking
NCT ID NCT07680270
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether simple questionnaires can effectively measure quality of life in heart patients and job satisfaction in their caregivers. Over 1,100 participants from a French hospital will complete surveys before and after procedures like pacemaker insertion or heart surgery. The goal is to build a database that could eventually help improve both patient care and hospital work environments.
