Feasibility and Acceptability of a Chaplain-Led Post-Code Debrief Intervention
Abstract
The objective of this study is to increase the frequency and effectiveness of post code debriefs by piloting a novel intervention tool and partnering clinicians with board certified chaplains trained to facilitate group processes. A post code debrief will involve two aspects: a technical debrief (a discussion to process the technical, procedural aspects of a medical code/cardiopulmonary arrest), which will be led by a clinician, and an emotional debrief (a discussion to process the emotional, existential impact of a medical code/cardiopulmonary arrest), which will be led by a chaplain.
Conditions: Health Personnel Attitude.
Primary outcome: Evaluate and describe current stress of clinical staff who participate in CPA events; Pilot the debrief tool on one unit of the hospital; Pilot the debrief tool hospital-wide.
Enrollment: 110 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 110 participants or records.
