Behaviour - Interviews

Behaviour: Interviews
Focused conversations to understand features of a GI bleed that are important to patients and families.
Patients and family members are invited to participate in focused conversations. For interviews and focus groups, criterion sampling will be used. Investigators employed qualitative and quantitative methods to collect and analyze data. Quantitative data includes self-reported demographic characteristics of the patient and family members. Qualitative data about participants will be obtained through individual interviews and focused groups and project team field notes.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will engage patients and families to create a definition of what matters most to
them about upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. This information will help to define the
outcome of "patient-important GI bleeding" which is a secondary endpoint for the ongoing
international randomized trial REVISE (NCT03374800), comparing acid suppression versus no
acid suppression in the intensive care unit (ICU). Other outcomes in REVISE are clinically
important upper GI bleeding, mortality, pneumonia and Clostridioides difficile infection.
Guided by patient and family input, a series of open-ended questions will elicit patient and
family views about what matters most about this complication in interviews and focus groups.
The investigators will develop the definition of "patient-important GI bleeding" by analyzing
interview and focus group transcripts of critically ill survivors and family members of
critically ill patients who may or may not have had GI bleeding, and who were not enrolled in
the REVISE trial. Patient and family perspectives (anticipated to be different from what
clinicians consider to be clinically important GI bleeding), will be used to refine a new
trial outcome for research on GI bleeding in the intensive care unit (ICU). Also, study
results will help clinicians understand how to better support patients and families; to
explain testing and treatment options when GI bleeding occurs in practice in the ICU.
