Background: Among the factors effective on the mental health of individuals, family is one of the most important. Hospitalization of a member of the family might cause anxiety and mental problems. Seeking spiritual support, belief in God, and praying are some of the methods that the family members may adopt to deal with the stressors. Objectives: The present study is an attempt to survey the effects of spiritual-religious intervention on anxiety level in the family members of patients in the ICU ward. Methods: The study was carried out as a semi-experimental study in which 34 family members of critically ill patients in ICU took part. The subjects were selected through convenient sampling and randomly grouped in intervention (n = 17) and control (n = 17) groups. The subjects in the intervention group received religious-spiritual intervention through a course with eight group meetings (45-60 minutes; three times a week). Anxiety of the participants was measured using Spielberger's Test Anxiety Inventory before and after the intervention. The collected data was analyzed in SPSS (V.20). Results: There was a significant difference in anxiety scores of the intervention group before and after the intervention (P < 0.001). On the other hand, no significant difference was observed in the control group before and after the intervention (P = 0.053). Conclusions: The findings indicated effectiveness of the spiritual-religious intervention on attenuation of anxiety in the family members of patients in the ICU. Therefore, nurses in ICU can utilize such inexpensive methods to decrease anxiety in the family members of patients.

“…Meanwhile, medical institutions, hospitals, and managerial staff can strive to encourage and support patients and their families to participate in transitional care actively, timely evaluate their preparation for the transition, and enhance their awareness and behaviour of participating in transitional self‐care via information support and educational exchange (de Grood et al, 2018). The perfect ICU transitional information support system can effectively promote the accuracy, timeliness, and consistency of information transmission and feedback between nurses and patients, reduce and eliminate the uncertainty and migration stress of patients and caregivers, which is beneficial to ameliorating the patient's experiences of transitional care and continuously improving the care quality (Herling et al, 2021; Shafipour et al, 2017).…”

Aim The aim of this study is to explore the cognition and practice on transitional care during the transfer from intensive care unit to a general ward among health care professionals in China. Background Due to the significant differences in the medical and humanistic environment at home and abroad, the safety of patients during the transmission from intensive care unit to the general ward is often ignored when their conditions become stable. There are few qualitative studies on the cognition and practice on transitional care during the transfer from intensive care unit to the ward among health care professionals in China. Methods With a qualitative research design, 20 medical and nursing staff in the neurosurgery intensive care unit and ward were interviewed from May 2021 to August 2021. NVivo 11.0 software was utilized for Colaizzi's (1978) method of data analysis. Results Based on data analysis, perceptions of transitional care, the influencing factors for transitional care and the recommendations for improving transitional care were obtained. Conclusion To ensure the continuity of care and improve patient safety during the period from intensive care unit to a general ward in China, we should clarify the expectation for the content of intensive care unit transitional care services, establish the transitional nursing team, guide nursing work, standardize the handover mode and process from intensive care unit to the general ward, promote the communication and coordination of health care professionals and improve the transitional nursing security system from the perspective of institutional level. Implications for Nursing Management This study can be used as a guide to help health care professionals provide a reference for the comprehensive development of transitional care services and the formulation of targeted intervention measures during the transfer from intensive care unit to a general ward in China.

“…Critical care staff should be aware of the potential for the patient to develop mental disorders after discharge from critical care units. These problems are mainly caused by preventable stress factors such a lack of adequate information on the treatment and diagnosis, use of sophisticated equipment, burden of monitoring devices, changes in patients’ appearance, invasive interventions, lack of effective communication between the family and physician, wrong perception of the treatment process, and changes in the role of family members [44, 45 ]. Staff working in critical care units can significantly reduce psychological factors through the use of various caring programs such as identifying vulnerable patients, education, consultation, physical and psychological support after discharge, and support networks [ 29 ].…”

Introduction The widespread use of advanced technology and invasive intervention creates many psychological problems for hospitalized patients; it is especially common in critical care units. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 310 patients hospitalized in critical care units, using a non-probability sampling method. Data were collected using depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS-21) one month after discharge from the hospital. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results 181 males and 129 females with a mean age (SD) of 55.11(1.62) years were enrolled in the study. The prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress were 46.5, 53.6 and 57.8% respectively, and the depression, anxiety and stress mean (SD) scores were 16.15(1.40), 18.57(1.46), 19.69(1.48), respectively. A statistically significant association was reported between depression, anxiety and stress with an increase in age, the number of children, occupation, education, length of hospital stay, use of mechanical ventilation, type of the critical care unit, and drug abuse. Conclusion The prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress in patients discharged from critical care units was high. Therefore, crucial decisions should be made to reduce depression, anxiety and stress in patients discharged from critical care units by educational strategies, identifying vulnerable patients and their preparation before invasive diagnostic-treatment procedures.
