Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Measuring patient satisfaction following the discovery of a brain tumor.
- timeFrame
- The day of discharge from neurosurgery, on average 8 days (between 1 days and 15 days)
- description
- Measurement of patient satisfaction following the discovery of a brain tumor via scores obtained, at the end of their neurosurgical hospitalization, in response to the EORCT IN-PATSAT32 (European Organisation of Research and Treatment of Cancer IN PATient SATisfaction 32) questionnaire, whose dimensions of interest are ordered as follows for hierarchical analysis: 1. SATNIS = nurses interpersonal skills 2. SATNIP = nurses information provision 3. SATNAV = nurses availability 4. SATNTS = nurses technical skills, 5. SATGEN = overall quality rating All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A high score represents a high level of satisfaction with care.
