Improving Psychological Distress Among Critical Illness Survivors and Their Caregivers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating coping skills training and education program for Intensive Care Unit Survivors and Informal Caregivers (Family and Friends). Completed, enrolled 417 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Patients who receive life support in intensive care units commonly suffer from persistent depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms after discharge. We are trying to learn which is a better way to manage this distress: a telephone-based adaptive coping skills training program or an educational program.
