The Impact of Paramedic Training in Simulation on the Experience of Patients Treated for Malignant Brain Tumors in Neurosurgery (IPSIMANON)

The Impact of Paramedic Training in Simulation on the Experience of Patients Treated for Malignant Brain Tumors in Neurosurgery

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that simulation training for paramedical staff in neurosurgery departments, in announcing and accompanying patients with a brain tumor, improves patient satisfaction when a (potentially malignant) brain tumor is discovered, compared with usual care. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Are patients more satisfied (as measured by scores on the EORCT IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire) with their neurosurgical hospitalization following the discovery of a brain tumor in centers where paramedics have been trained by simulation? Researchers will compare the results of the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire to determine whether paramedic training improves patient satisfaction between simulation-trained and untrained centers. Participants will be asked to complete the EORT IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire at the end of their hospital stay.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Patient over 18 years of age - Patient covered by a social security scheme - Patient signed willing to sign a consent form form - Patient found to have a brain tumor (potentially malignant, primary or secondary if this is the mode of entry into the disease) - Hospitalization in the Neurosurgery Department at the time of tumor discovery, before the histological diagnosis is announced. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Patients with a personal history of cancer - Patient without family AND unable to receive information Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

OTHER

Paramedic training

Nurses and care assistants at the centers randomized to the "with training" arm will undergo a day-and-a-half of training to help them support patients diagnosed with brain tumors. Training consists of half a day of theory, followed by a day of simulation.
