Summary

The overarching aim of this multicenter study is to develop a multimodule training intervention (COMMEC-ICU) for nurses working in ICUs, to increase nurses skills and knowledge and then improve communication for mechanically ventilated ICU patients. The intervention will be implemented at the included ICUs and evaluated both on nurses in the ICU and patients. Patients with delirium will also be included.

Conditions

  • Critical Illness
  • Communication
  • Intensive Care Unit Syndrome

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Communication Course and skills training

A multi module intervention where the nurses will learn about communication with mechanically ventilated patients will be developed. The investigators hypothesize that this intervention will: 1. make it easier for mechanically ventilated ICU patients to communicate their needs and symptoms during mechanical ventilation and to improve their symptom burden. 2. improve ICU nurses' skills in communicating with ICU patients who are unable to speak. This will potentially contribute to better communication with critically ill patients, including those being delirious. 3. improve ICU nurses´ satisfaction with their communication.
