Brief 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.
Interventions
OTHERParamedic 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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Measuring patient satisfaction following the discovery of a brain tumor. | The day of discharge from neurosurgery, on average 8 days (between 1 days and 15 days) | 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. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement of patients' experiences following the discovery of a brain tumor via scores obtained (other questionnaire items) | The day of discharge from neurosurgery, on average 8 days (between 1 days and 15 days) | Measurement of patients' experiences following the discovery of a brain tumor via the scores obtained at the end of their neurosurgical hospitalization in response to the other items of the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire (European Organisation of Research and Treatment of Cancer IN PATient SATisfaction 32) : * SATEXE = exchange of information between caregivers, * SATDIS = doctors interpersonal skills, * SATDIP = doctors information provision, * SATDAV = doctors availability, * SATDTS = doctors technical skills, * SATOTH = other personal interpersonal skills, 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. |
| Measuring patients' feelings | The day of discharge from neurosurgery, on average 8 days (between 1 days and 15 days) | Measuring patients' feelings with the INCA (French National Cancer Institute) questionnaire (Sick people - Survey on the announcement of the diagnosis and the feelings of sick people) at the end of their neurosurgical hospital hospitalization. |
| Measuring Caregivers' Experiences/Quality of Life at Work | Day 0 and Month 6 | Measurement of caregivers' experience/quality of life at work at D0 and 6 months, using the Delmas et al. questionnaire. |
| Measurement of caregivers' listening skills. | Day 0, after training and Month 6 | Measurement of caregivers' listening attitude, using the Porter et al. questionnaire at D0, after training and 6 months. |
| Measuring communication within the paramedical team | Day 0 and Month 6 | Measurement of communication within the paramedical team, using the paramedical team communication evaluation questionnaire (Likert scales, 5 points) at D0 and 6 months. |
| Measuring communication between paramedical and medical teams. | Day 0 and Month 6 | Measurement of communication between the paramedical and medical teams, using a questionnaire to evaluate communication between the paramedical and medical teams (Likert scales, 5 points) at D0 and 6 months. |
