Family Dysfunction Associated With a Child Encountering Sepsis Requiring Critical Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation, based on the LAPS study, explores family dysfunction linked to children's sepsis requiring critical care. It highlights how emotional, cognitive, and physical changes post-sepsis hospitalization can burden families. The study tracks parent and family outcomes after pediatric septic shock, identifying some families experience long-term distress. Results reveal most families demonstrate resilience, but some have persistent issues. Sociodemographic and clinical factors generally did not predict high-risk group memberships. Thus, ongoing psychosocial screening for families post-discharge is advocated, rather than basing it solely on sociodemographics or the child’s illness severity.
