“…In turn, these associations functioned as precipitating the onset of PTSD (Capuzzo et al, 2004, C. Jones et al, 2003Ringdal et al, 2009;Samuelson et al, 2007), which did not occur in this study. It should be noted that a state of confusion or delirium is a psycho-organic syndrome that affects many patients hospitalized in serious condition in the ICU.…”

The present study evaluated the prevalence of PTSD indicators in patients who had to be hospitalized in ICU six months after being discharged and examined the relationship between PTSD and mnemonic memories. Participants were 41 adult patients with different diseases who answered questionnaires about PTSD, memory and clinical information. It was identified that 24.4% of the sample presented PTSD symptoms. These patients presented more affective memories than those without PTSD (t=2.29, p<.05). Affective memories correlated with total PTSD and with the dimensions 'reliving' (r=.443, p<.01) and 'excitability ' (r=.403, p<.01). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that sex (woman) and the presence of affective memories were PTSD predictors, explaining 38.2% of the variance. Keywords: Intensive care units, memory, posttraumatic stress disorder, quality of life.Resumo O estudo avaliou a prevalência de indicadores de TEPT em pacientes que foram internados em UTI seis meses após a alta hospitalar, e examinou a relação entre TEPT e recordações mnêmincas. Participaram 41 pacientes adultos com diferentes doenças, que responderam a questionários sobre TEPT, memórias e informações clínicas. Identificou-se que 24,4% da amostra possuía indicadores de TEPT. Estes pacientes apresentaram mais memórias afetivas que os pacientes sem TEPT (t=2,29, p<0,05). As memórias afetivas correlacionaram-se com o TEPT total (r=0,408, p<0,01) e com suas dimensões revivência (r=0,443, p<0,01) e excitabilidade (r=0,403, p<0,01). A análise de regressão hierárquica mostrou que o sexo (mulher) (β=0,44, p<0,01) e a presença de memórias afetivas (β=0,46, p<0,01) foram preditoras de TEPT, explicando 38,2% da sua variância.

Precipitants of post-traumatic stress disorder following intensive care: a hypothesis generating study of diversity in care

et al. 2007

The development of PTSD following critical illness is associated with a number of different precipitating factors that are in part related to how patients are cared for within intensive care. This study raises the hypothesis that the impact of care within the ICU has an impact on subsequent psychological morbidity and therefore must be assessed in future studies looking at the way patients are sedated in the ICU and how physical restraint is used.
