Family Presence on Multidisciplinary Patient Care Rounds in ICU
NCT05449990 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Family presence on patient care rounds in adult intensive care units remains the least studied area of family-centered care. Despite support from professional organizations and critical care experts, very few critical care units in the United States have written policies allowing family presence (Davidson, 2013). This multidisciplinary prospective, quasi-experimental design study examined if there is a difference in patient and family satisfaction between rounding in the presence of family compared to patient rounding without family members in the adult intensive care unit and determined the nurses' and health care professionals' attitudes toward family presence during multidisciplinary patient care rounds in the ICU of two hospitals. The sample was 150 patients and family members (75 per hospital) and a convenience sampling of 90 healthcare professionals from the two sites. This investigation will have a potential impact on nursing practice and research. Findings obtained from this study may provide further concrete information on the effect of family presence during multidisciplinary patient care rounds, and patient and family satisfaction that will develop policies and standardized approaches to rounding processes that are innovative in diverse critical care settings as well as other non-critical care settings. Data obtained from this research will be used to create patient and family-centered care plans, add new knowledge and educational programs for healthcare professionals

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05449990
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05449990 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 390 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, which has 603 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Critical Illness appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Participation in PFCC-IR is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05449990 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New Jersey. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
