Patient and Caregiver Psychological Functioning Following Neuro-ICU Admission: A Prospective Investigation

Completed

Conditions studied: Intensive Care Neurological Disorder

In brief

The current study has the following objectives: 1. To determine predictors of time 2 and 3 (3 and 6 months post-ICU admission) depression, PTSD, satisfaction with life and quality of life in both patients and caregivers, after controlling for injury severity and impairment. 2. To determine factors associated with patient and caregiver satisfaction with medical care at time 2 and time 3. The investigators would thus be able to identify the best time point for intervention delivery, intervention targets, and risk factors for chronic psychological distress.
