Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Intensive Care Unit Survivors, Informal Caregivers (Family and Friends)
In brief
Patients who receive life support in intensive care units commonly suffer from persistent depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms after discharge. We are trying to learn which is a better way to manage this distress: a telephone-based adaptive coping skills training program or an educational program.
