Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Patient Experience

Background:

  • Patients and families often experience psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), following an intensive care unit (ICU) stay.
  • The intensive care unit environment can be dehumanizing, impacting patient and family well-being.
  • There is a need for interventions that support psychological recovery and humanize the critical care experience.

Observation:

  • ICU diaries, authored by clinicians and relatives during a patient's stay, were introduced as a potential intervention.
  • A case report detailed the patient's perspective on the benefits derived from these diaries.
  • The act of diary writing was observed to foster a connection between patients, relatives, and care providers.

Findings:

  • ICU diaries can significantly alleviate psychological consequences such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD in patients and their families post-ICU.
  • The diary-writing process contributes to the humanization of intensive care.
  • A person-centered approach, facilitated by diaries, enhances the patient experience and recovery.

Implications:

  • Implementing ICU diary programs can be a valuable strategy for improving mental health outcomes in critical care survivors.
  • Diary interventions promote a more compassionate and humanized approach to intensive care.
  • Further research into the widespread adoption and efficacy of ICU diaries is warranted to support patient and family psychological well-being.
