Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This cluster randomized trial evaluates a structured educational program on geriatric frailty for emergency department nurses in eight public hospitals in the Marrakech-Safi region of Morocco. Nurses in the intervention group receive modules on frailty, screening, and practical care steps, while control nurses do not receive the training during the study. All participants complete surveys before, immediately after, and three months post-training to measure changes in knowledge, attitudes, and clinical practices. The study aims to determine if the training improves nurses' ability to identify and manage frailty in older patients presenting to the ED. A total of 144 nurses are expected to participate, with the lead sponsor being Cadi Ayyad University and the Mohammed V Provincial Hospital (Safi) as a participating site.
