Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation discusses post-traumatic stress among ICU patients and their caregivers. A study involving 95 patient-caregiver dyads revealed that about 16% of caregivers experienced chronic post-traumatic stress, with factors like patient severity and caregiver history of trauma predicting this outcome. These caregivers also faced work challenges and reduced quality of life. A follow-up qualitative study with 21 caregivers highlighted distress was multidimensional and not solely linked to post-traumatic stress, involving self-care struggles and life disruption. The findings suggest that interventions should combine trauma-informed care and resilience-building, along with post-discharge support.
