Addressing Palliative Care Needs Among Intensive Care Unit Family Members

Duke University·interventional·Posted Apr 24, 2018·Updated Nov 13, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Needs-focused mobile app and Usual care for Critical Illness and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 111 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The quality of palliative care is highly variable for many patients treated in intensive care units (ICUs) and their family members. To address these challenges, the investigators will test the impact of a mobile app designed to help families navigate ICU-based palliative care vs. usual care. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will reduce patient/family member unmet palliative care needs and improve the quality of clinical-family communication in racially/ethnically diverse populations.
