But less often do we name another very common experience and emotion - grief. After all, you just survived a critical illness, why would you be grieving? Shouldn't you be thankful, happy even? That may how the outside world interprets your experience, but for your thankfulness and happiness during this time may be very elusive emotions.

Author(s): Matt B, Schwarzkopf D, Fritzenwanger M, Witte O, Reinhart K, and Hartog C Publisher or Source: Intensive Care Medicine Experimental Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians Country of Origin: Germany Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome for Families (PICS-F) COVID-19 Related: No Description: Introduction Relatives of patients with severe sepsis have high risk of adverse psychological outcomes. Better knowledge about risk factors is needed. Objectives To predict psychological outcomes in relatives of patients at 90 days after death or discharge. Methods Prospective study on 4 ICUs in one German University hospital (04/2014 - 01/2015). The main relative of consecutive patients with severe sepsis were interviewed by phone at 90 days after patient discharge or death.Post traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) were assessed by the Impact of Event Scale (IES), symptoms of anxiety and depression by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS). Predictors were chosen based on literature,including demographic data, satisfaction with ICU care and information and experience of end-of-life care in the ICU. All patients’ health status before severe sepsis and survivors’ health status at 90 days were assessed by the relative using the EQ-5D questionnaire. A new item was introduced: feeling over strained by the ICU experience with rating on a scale from 1 to 10. Linear regression analyses were used to identify predictors in the full sample and among relatives of deceased and surviving patients. Results 143 relatives (64% response rate) participated. Fifty (35%)patients died in the ICU, 78 (55%) were alive at the time of the interview. Among relatives, median [IQR] age was54 [47,63], 73% were female, 43% were spouses and 39%were children of the patient, 78% were legal proxies. After90 days, 66 relatives (47%) experienced symptoms of PTSS; 55 (39%) and 41 (29%) suffered from symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively. IES, HADS anxiety or depression scores did not differ between relatives of deceased and surviving patients. By multivariate analyses no item on satisfaction with the ICU experience or the experience of end-of-life care reached significance. Female gender and lower education of relatives were risk factors for some psychological symptoms in the full sample and among relatives of deceased patients. Tracheostomy was a predictor of IES in the full sample (p=.004), treatment on a surgical ICU was a predictor of IES among relatives of deceased patients (p=.004). The degree of feeling over-strained by the ICU experience was a predictor of IES, HADS anxiety and depression in the full sample as well as in the subsamples of relatives of deceased and surviving patients (p≤.021).ThedifferenceinEQ-5Dhealthstatuspredicted IES and HADS depression among surviving patients (p≤.049). Conclusions Feeling overs trained during the ICU stay might be the strongest predictor of relatives’ psychological symptoms after three months. Tracheostomy in the ICU might be a predictor for PTSS. Both should be investigated in prospective longitudinal or interventional studies to better assess and prevent relatives’ psychological burden after their ICU experience.
