Chronically ventilated patients and their families face unique psychosocial challenges. Continuous tracheostomy ventilation significantly increases caregiver stress, highlighting the need for enhanced support systems.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Psychosocial Health
  • Caregiver Support

Background:

  • Chronic dependence on artificial ventilation presents significant psychosocial challenges for patients and their families.
  • Understanding these challenges is crucial for developing effective support strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the psychosocial issues and problems encountered by patients requiring long-term artificial ventilation and their family members.
  • To assess the emotional impact of chronic respiratory support on patients and caregivers.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach involving semistructured interviews and the Visual Analog Scale.
  • Inclusion of 38 patients (12 nasal mask, 26 tracheotomy) and 43 family members.
  • Quantification of emotional stress experienced by patients and caregivers on a 0-10 scale.

Main Results:

  • Patients and families reported varied problems, with increased caregiver stress over time for those on 24-hour tracheostomy ventilation.
  • Caregiver anxiety was heightened by the need for urgent bronchial suctioning.
  • Patients demonstrated adaptive coping strategies, and both patients and caregivers affirmed the value of respiratory support despite difficulties.

Conclusions:

  • Patients requiring continuous tracheostomy ventilation necessitate greater psychosocial support.
  • Family caregivers, especially those providing 24-hour care, require enhanced psychosocial support, professional home care, and voluntary assistance.
