The Impact of Paramedic Training in Simulation on the Experience of Patients Treated for Malignant Brain Tumors in Neurosurgery (IPSIMANON)
Sponsor: University Hospital, Brest
Summary
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.

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.
