Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is study 1 of 3 - of the overall project: The ProneTection Quality Improvement Project.

The three aims of this study, study 1 are:

1. to establish the training needs critical care clinicians have regarding prone positioning,
2. to investigate the conditions for effective implementation as in an intensive care setting,
3. to develop an education and training package (The ProneTection package) for an interdisciplinary team of clinicians on skin damage prevention of patients in the prone position

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Conduct a needs assessment by using semi-structured interviews with an interdisciplinary team of clinicians (Ghent University Hospital (UZ Gent), Brussels University Hospital (UZ Brussel) and several institutions in Sweden, mainly Örebro University Hospital).

Concurrently, investigate the conditions for effective implementation in a critical care facility using the same interviews and participants (interviewees).

Develop the education and training package (the ProneTection package). The ProneTection package will be based on

1. the results of our recently published gap-analysis study,
2. the needs assessment results from the interviews, keeping the optimal conditions (facilitators) in mind for successful implementation, and
3. the critical review and evaluation by eleven key opinion leaders from the established international expert panel
