“…In that, the diary was often seen as stirring painful memories, with which patients do not necessarily wish to reconnect, at a time they were trying to move away from their difficult experience at the hospital and resume “normal” lives. This was also reported by a recent study by Castillo et al ( 34 ) finding that when patients had the choice, they chose a discharge summary rather than the ICU diary, with half of the patients reporting distress reading the ICU diary. It is possible that, in some patients, the distress induced by the traumatic event would lead to avoidant coping strategies ( 35 , 36 ), expressed in a certain “desire to forget,” that is challenged by the diary.…”

“…We excluded 7 studies for which data were unavailable from the body or appendices, 52–58 six that had non‐RCT designs, 59–64 eight in which interventions were not categorized as the ICU diary, 65–72 and two were excluded for other reasons 73,74 . Therefore, we included five studies in our meta‐analysis 14,75–78 …”

Background: Various physical and mental sequelae reduce the quality of life (QOL) of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Current guidelines recommend multi-angular approaches to prevent these sequelae. Some studies have demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of rehabilitation or the ICU diary against these sequelae, whereas others have not. Aim:The aims of the present study were to establish whether rehabilitation or the ICU diary was useful for reducing the severity of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in ICU patients. We also investigated whether these interventions improved the QOL of these patients. Study design:We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant ran-

“…Similarly, another study also reported no significant difference in the incidence of PTSD, anxiety, and depression between the conventional nursing group and the ICU diary group at 3 months after hospital discharge (Schoeman et al, 2018). Two other studies have also shown that reading an ICU diary or discharge summary increases the psychological burden of ICU survivors (Castillo et al, 2020) and their anxiety or fear symptoms are more apparent than those of patients without ICU diary psychotherapy (Glimelius et al, 2018). Two recent meta-analysis results also highlighted differing opinions on the efficacy of ICU diary therapy on the incidence of PTSD symptoms and improving ICU survivors' quality of life (McIlroy et al, 2019;Nydahl et al, 2019).…”

Aim: To systematically evaluate the effect of intensive care unit diary psychotherapy on the incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression after discharge from intensive care unit.Background: Many studies have reported the potential advantages and risks of intensive care unit diary psychotherapy in adult patients discharged from intensive care unit, but the results are divergent. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective randomized controlled or case-controlled studies. Data source: Databases such as Cochran Library, Pubmed, Embase, CINAHL, and ProQuest databases, China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for literatures published from January 2000-March 2020.Review methods: We use the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool for quality assessment and audit manager 5.3 software for meta-analysis. The main result is the incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. Results:Ten studies meeting the inclusion criteria were identified, including eight randomized controlled studies and two case-controlled studies, with a total of 1,210 patients. The pooled results of this meta-analysis indicated that the intensive care unit diary could reduce the incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. Conclusion:This study showed that an intensive care unit diary could improve the psychological symptoms of adult intensive care unit patients after discharge. However, due to limitations such as publication bias and case sample size, the results should be carefully considered. Researchers need to further clarify the multidisciplinary collaborative process of intensive care unit diary therapy, the real beneficiaries, and its impact on family members' psychological status by conducting large, robust studies in the future.
