What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying the impact of a special training program for nurses and nursing assistants on elderly patients aged 75 and over who are hospitalized in specialized wards. The goal is to see if this training, adapted from a successful American nursing program called NICHE, can improve the care of elderly patients by reducing hospital-related complications and shortening the length of hospital stays. This training involves teaching healthcare staff about better geriatric care practices, especially to prevent confusion and other hospital-related issues common in older patients. The study compares two groups of patients one group admitted after the introduction of specially trained geriatric nurses and nursing assistants, and a control group admitted before this training was introduced. The training program is coordinated by Geriatric Mobile Teams GMT, who support and guide the nursing staff, helping to spread good geriatric care practices similar to hygiene correspondents in hospitals. The program is designed to improve overall hospital care for older patients by focusing on evidence-based practices. Participants length of hospital stay is measured as the number of days from admission to discharge, with data collected up to one month after admission. The study observes patients during their hospital stay to evaluate the effects of the training program on preventing complications related to hospitalization. The study spans from May 2023 to July 2027. Researchers assess patient outcomes based on medical records, including complications and duration of hospitalization, to determine if this nursing training improves care for elderly hospital patients.
