On-site Simulation Training to Improve Infection Prevention in an Adult ICU

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 prospective, before‑and‑after study takes place in one adult ICU over 18 months, with 6 months before training, 6 months of hands‑on simulation sessions, and 6 months after. The intervention uses SIMREA, an in situ simulation program aiming to strengthen knowledge, technical skills, and teamwork needed to reliably apply standard precautions. The study compares infection-related outcomes before and after the simulation training while accounting for real‑world ICU challenges. Outcomes are based on data from electronic health records and routine surveillance. Eligible participants are adults (18+) admitted to the ICU with stays of at least 48 hours and for whom outcome data are available.
