Registry summary
This study tests whether a training program helps nurses better recognize and care for older adults with frailty in hospital emergency departments.
Frailty is a condition where older adults become more vulnerable to health problems. A small illness or injury can cause serious complications for a frail person. Emergency nurses often lack training to identify frailty quickly.
In this study, some nurses will take part in a structured training program. The program includes four modules covering what frailty is, how to screen for it, and what nurses can do to help. Other nurses will not receive the training during the study. All nurses will complete a survey before, right after, and three months after the training.
The study will take place in eight public hospital emergency departments in the Marrakech-Safi region of Morocco. A total of 144 nurses will take part.
Researchers will measure whether nurses in the training group have better knowledge, attitudes, and practices about frailty compared to those who did not receive training. Researchers will also check whether the improvements last after three months.
Hospitals are randomly assigned to either the training group or the comparison group. This is called a cluster randomized trial.
