Interventions

  • Multi-level communication intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    The intervention will target multiple levels (provider, unit, hospital) and will respond to identified modifiable communication challenges. Aim 2 intervention mapping will finalize the specific intervention; we anticipate it will involve training and education of staff members and new unit protocols for communication.

Study Details

This study focuses on improving interprofessional communication during cancer treatment, through an individual and hospital system intervention, to improve provider outcomes, patient care, and, ultimately, survival for children with cancer in low-resource settings.

Arms

  • Experimental: Intervention Group
    This study includes an intervention development phase (Aim 2) during which the intervention content and delivery mechanisms will be finalized. We will implement the multilevel intervention developed in Aim 2. We anticipate this will consist of one instance of intervention at each hospital and we will develop a full intervention manual following Aim 2. Details regarding the intervention will be updated prior to participant enrollment in the trial.
  • No Intervention: Waitlist Control Group
    The wait list control is a group that does not receive an intervention during the study period, serving as an untreated comparison during the study, although they later receive the intervention. This intervention will be delivered after the completion of the last data collection instance.

Primary Outcome Measure

Communication quality - CritCom Measure [ Time Frame: We will evaluate outcomes at three time points; baseline, one month after intervention, and six months after intervention. ]
