Study Overview

Brief Summary

ICU survivors often experience long-term challenges such as impaired functional status, anxiety, and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL), extending beyond those who underwent mechanical ventilation. Understanding these impacts is crucial for developing targeted rehabilitation strategies. This study aims to assess anxiety levels using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and functional status using the Barthel Index (BI), both of which are well-validated tools for evaluating post-ICU recovery. HADS will help identify patients struggling with anxiety and depression, allowing for early psychological interventions, while the BI will assess their ability to perform daily activities, guiding the development of personalized rehabilitation programs. Ethical clearance will be obtained, and necessary permissions will be sought before recruiting eligible patients based on predefined criteria. After informed consent, a one-time assessment will be conducted, and the collected data will undergo statistical analysis. The findings will help design targeted interventions that enhance physical recovery, reduce psychological distress, and improve overall post-ICU quality of life.
