Patient-Reported Quality of Life and Identified Goals for Improvement During ICU Recovery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Annie Johnson, a nurse practitioner at Mayo Clinic, discusses the use of the EQ5D-5L tool to assess the health-related quality of life of patients in their ICU Recovery Program. Initially used in face-to-face appointments, the tool was adapted for use in virtual appointments during the pandemic. Patients were asked to rate their current health state on a scale from 0 to 100, and identify areas they wanted to improve. The results showed that 19% of patients rated their health-related quality of life lower than 50, 43% rated it between 51 and 75, and 38% rated it 75 and above. Improving strength was the most common goal reported, followed by getting back to hobbies and improving shortness of breath. The study highlights the importance of individualized recovery plans based on patients' needs and perspectives.
