“…However, a longer ICU stay may not merely be a reflection of greater illness severity. As in many previous studies (Nelson et al 2000;Jones et al 2001;Cuthbertson et al 2004;Kapfhammer et al 2004;Nickel et al 2004;Rattray et al 2005;Girard et al 2007;Samuelson et al 2007b;Sukantarat et al 2007;Jubran et al 2010;Schandl et al 2011), initial severity of illness was not associated with later PTSD symptoms. In addition, maximum severity of organ failure during the ICU stay was not associated with PTSD symptoms in our study.…”

“…Emotional problems experienced by the patients may be associated with low self-esteem, the lack of self-confidence and the dependence on others (Boudrez andDe Backer, 2001, Merkouris A, 2009). Multidisciplinary follow-up after intensive care can be of value in identifying untreated physical and psychological problems in ICU survivors (Schandl et al , 2011).…”

Objectives Postoperative heart failure is a serious complication that changes the lives of both the person who is critically ill and family in many ways.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an intervention in postoperative heart failure patient-partner dyads regarding health, symptoms of depression and perceived control. Patients' perceived control improved significantly in the intervention group over time. ConclusionPsychoeducational support to post cardiac surgery heart failure dyads improved health in both patients and partners at short term follow-up and improved patients' perceived control at both short and long-term follow-up. Psychoeducational support appears to be a promising intervention but the results need to be confirmed in larger studies.3

“…In publications where clinic healthcare providers were identified, they were either nurses or physicians who worked alone or as leaders of a team. Of these clinics, there were five that were nurse-led clinics (23, 34, 36, 40, 42), four physician run clinics (25, 27, 32, 35); six multidisciplinary clinics (4, 12, 22, 31, 44, 47); and five reports did not specify the providers’ discipline (29, 30, 37, 46). …”

Objective The purpose of this scoping review was to identify evidence describing benefits of interventions provided in ICU-survivor follow-up clinics. Background Advances in intensive care unit (ICU) treatments have increased the number of survivors who require specialized care for ICU-related sequelae. ICU survivor follow-up clinics exist yet little is known about the nature and impact of interventions provided in such clinics. A scoping review of publications about in-person post-ICU follow-up care was undertaken. Method Ten databases were searched yielding one-hundred eleven relevant unique publication titles and abstracts. Sample heterogeneity supported using a scoping review method. After excluding non-related publications, 33 reports were fully reviewed. Twenty international publications were included that described ICU follow-up clinic interventions and/or outcomes. Results Authors discussed very diverse interventions in 15 publications, and 9 reported some level of intervention effectiveness. Evidence was strongest that supported the use of prospective diaries as an intervention to prevent or improve psychological symptoms whereas evidence to support implementation of other interventions was weak. Conclusions Although ICU follow-up clinics exist, evidence for interventions and effectiveness of treatments in these clinics remains under-explored. Implications ICU survivor follow-up clinics provide a venue for further interdisciplinary intervention research that could lead to better health outcomes for ICU survivors.
