A new questionnaire to determine the effect of team interaction in the ICU on perceived futility and intention to quit: results of a pilot study in two German hospitals

Perceived futility of care may jeopardize patient quality of care and increase ICU staff turnover. It is related to workload and interdisciplinary collaboration. Our aim was to evaluate concepts from team science, namely inclusive leadership (a style that invites and appreciates others' contributions) and psychological safety (a key antecedent of speaking up and learning behavior), and to determine their effect on perceived futility and intention to quit.
