Psychosocial Outcomes in Families of COVID-19 ICU Patients

Completed

• Conditions: Critical Illness; Family; Psychological Stress; Covid19

• Registration Number: NCT04498507
• Lead Sponsor: University of Liege

Brief Summary

During the first part of the SRAS-COV2 pandemic, families were not allowed to visit the patients in ICU. We know that families can develop "Family-PICS" after their relatives' ICU stay. The aim of the study is to study the psychosocial outcomes of families of patients who were admitted in ICU for COVID-19 during the pandemic. The second objective was to search for any differences in outcomes whether families benefited from video-conferences with the medical team and their relatives or not during the ICU stay.
