简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an association between adverse physical and/or psychological outcome in ICU survivors and the caregiver burden for their relatives.
We hypothesize that relatives to ICU survivors with an incomplete physical and/or psychological recovery three months after ICU stay report a higher caregiver burden.
详细描述
This is a sub-study to the multicenter "PROGRESS study". Details of the PROGRESS study have been described elsewhere. Briefly, an observational study including 600-1000 adult ICU patients from ten European hospitals will be followed up during three months to identify potential risk factors for physical and psychological problems.
The sub-study is conducted in four Swedish hospitals (Karolinska University Hospital Solna, Södersjukhuset, Stockholm, Örebro University Hospital and Akademiska University Hospital in Uppsala). Relatives to patients included in the PROGRESS study, who give informed consent to participate are consecutively included in the study.
Consenting participants (relatives) will be approached after inclusion of the patient and asked to estimate their own health related quality of life (HRQOL) 2 weeks prior to the time point for patient ICU admission through a HRQOL questionnaire. This self-reported HRQOL data will be used as proxy for baseline data. Three months after ICU discharge, relatives to ICU survivors will receive the following questionnaires by postal mail; Caregiver Burden Index, HRQOL questionnaire, a questionnaire screening for symptoms of anxiety and depression and a questionnaire screening for symptoms of posttraumatic stress.
The relatives will also be asked to state the number of working days lost due to caretaking of the ICU survivor.
ICU survivors' physical and psychological outcome, assessed with BI, SF-36, PTSS-14 and HADS three months after ICU discharge, obtained in the main PROGRESS study, will be compared with relatives' reported caregiver burden.
