    Long-term patient outcomes after intensive care are often overlooked. Home interviews reveal crucial data for improving critical care services and patient recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Patient Outcomes Research
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Intensive care unit (ICU) survivors often experience significant long-term physiological and psychological sequelae.
    • The impact of critical illness and intensive therapy on patients and their families is frequently underestimated.
    • There is a lack of systematic attention to measuring and understanding these long-term effects in clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the long-term outcomes experienced by patients following intensive care.
    • To assess the value of patient-reported data gathered in a familiar environment.
    • To inform improvements in critical care services and clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Face-to-face interviews were conducted with patients in their homes.

  • Interviews occurred at 6 months post-recovery to ensure comfort and freedom of expression.
  • Qualitative data were collected to understand patient experiences.

    • Main Results:

    • Patient interviews provided valuable insights into the long-term effects of critical illness and intensive therapy.
    • Data highlighted the importance of the patient's home environment for open communication.
    • Findings underscored the significance of these outcomes for patients, relatives, and future clinical practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Face-to-face interviews are a vital method for gathering rich data on intensive care outcomes.
    • Intensivists can use patient-reported outcomes to assess service effectiveness and drive practice change.
    • There is a clear need for integrated long-term follow-up services bridging hospital and community care.
