Chronic critical illness. (2010, background): “A new brochure about chronic critical illness is available as an adjunct to direct clinician counseling for education of patients and families (74); the value of printed informational materials for this purpose has been shown in randomized, controlled trials (75, 76).”
Guidelines for Family-Centered Care in the Neonatal, Pediatric, and Adult ICU (2017, background): “The intervention significantly reduced symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety among family members at 90 days after the patients’ death (4).”
Recommendations for end-of-life care in the intensive care unit: A consensus statement by the American College of Critical Care Medicine (2008, background): “Finally, there is evidence that improved communication about end-of-life care can significantly reduce psychological morbidity in family members after a death in the ICU (22).”
Associations between end-of-life discussions, patient mental health, medical care near death, and caregiver bereavement adjustment (2008, neutral): “Recent studies have shown that communication interventions in the intensive care unit can reduce psychological distress among bereaved family members.(41) Our results suggest that bereavement-related distress might be offset by interventions aimed at reducing aggressive care.”
