Hayes K, Harding S, Blackwood B, Latour JM. How and when post intensive care syndrome-family is measured: A scoping review. Intensive Crit Care Nurs 2024; 84:103768. [PMID: 39079481 DOI: 10.1016/j.iccn.2024.103768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Family members of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients can experience mental health difficulties. These are collectively described as Post Intensive Care Syndrome-Family (PICS-F). There are no standardised outcome measures to benchmark the impact of PICS-F. This scoping review aimed to map and characterise interventions, outcomes, and outcome instruments related to PICS-F. METHODS Eight databases were searched in June 2023: Pubmed, CINAHL, Ovid Medline, EMBASE, PsycInfo, AMED, Emcare and Cochrane. The grey literature was also searched. Studies published after 2012 related to PICS-F were included. Search strategy included: (Population) family members of adult ICU patients, (Concept) PICS-F, (Context) ICU settings. Frequency analysis of outcomes was performed, and instruments were mapped to describe the characteristics. RESULTS Of the identified 4848 records, 46 papers representing 44 unique studies met the inclusion criteria and were retained for analysis. In total, 8008 family members were represented across 15 countries in four continents worldwide. The number of studies reporting PICS-F interventions increased rapidly over the past 12 years and were performed in ICUs treating mixed conditions. Studies were randomised control trials (n = 33), before-and-after design (n = 6) and non-randomised trials (n = 5). A total of 18 outcome instruments were used measuring predominantly anxiety, with complicated grief measured only once. The identified instruments were mostly validated for clinical and disease specific populations but not validated among relatives of ICU patients. CONCLUSION There is a plethora of instruments measuring PICS-F outcomes. No core outcome set is currently available for PICS-F. To reduce heterogeneity of how PICS-F is measured, a core outcome set with validated measurements is recommended to allow benchmarking and to document the impact of PICS-F interventions. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Recognising PICS-F symptoms and understanding how to assess them could help clinicians to develop interventions to improve family outcomes. Validated instruments are needed to evaluate these interventions.

Yoo HJ, Kim N, Park MK. Patient-centered care for mental health in patients with heart failure in the intensive care unit: A systematic review. Appl Nurs Res 2024; 78:151814. [PMID: 39053991 DOI: 10.1016/j.apnr.2024.151814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
AIM To assess basic data for developing appropriate interventions by examining the effects of patient-centered care (PCC) on the mental health of patients with heart failure in the intensive care unit (ICU). BACKGROUND Patients with heart failure are frequently admitted to ICUs, and ICU stays are associated with prolonged mental health problems. METHODS We conducted a systematic review using the CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and gray literature databases. Inclusion criteria were studies with participants aged ≥18 years with heart failure in the ICU who received a PCC intervention, and studies that described the outcomes for mental health problems. Data were extracted from five selected studies published after 2020 and analyzed. RESULTS PCC is classified into three areas: comprehensive nursing, multidisciplinary disease management, and targeted motivational interviewing with conventional nursing. The two specific areas of focus for PCC regarding mental health were integrated mental healthcare and specific psychological nursing. Specific psychological nursing comprised relationship building, therapeutic communication, relaxation and motivational techniques, active therapeutic cooperation, psychological status evaluation, music therapy, and environmental management. CONCLUSIONS This review provides a distinctive understanding of multidisciplinary and multicomponent PCC interventions for patients with heart failure in the ICU as an effective approach for improving their mental health. Future PCC intervention strategies aimed at patients with heart failure in the ICU should consider their preferences and family participation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The need and values of patient- and family-centred care (PFCC) have been globally increasing in the health care landscape. However, the concept of PFCC and the components in adult intensive care units (ICUs) remain wide-ranging. AIM To elucidate the core concepts of PFCC interventions and evaluate the effects of the interventions in adult ICUs. STUDY DESIGN We searched electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Central, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, RISS, KMbase and KoreaMed) from inception to 20 June 2022, for all studies on PFCC interventions. Three authors independently conducted data screening and extraction. The core concepts and the effects of PFCC interventions in adult ICUs were examined. The effects of patient- and family-centred care interventions in adult ICUs were examined. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. RESULTS Overall, 3507 records were identified, and 14 full-text articles were assessed. Participants in the included studies were patients and/or their family members in adult ICUs. The main concepts of the studies were participation and information-sharing. Only two studies used collaboration as the main concept of intervention. PFCC interventions have shown positive outcomes for patients, including increased satisfaction, improvement of patient health status and reduced incidence of complications. They have also been beneficial for families, leading to higher satisfaction levels and decreased anxiety. Additionally, these interventions have positively impacted health care providers by enhancing satisfaction and improving rounding efficiency. Moreover, they have influenced health care utilization by decreasing hospital costs and length of stay. CONCLUSIONS This review highlights the advantages of PFCC interventions for patients, families and health care providers in adult ICUs. Future research should focus on developing strategies to incorporate collaboration more comprehensively as a core concept in the implementation of PFCC interventions. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Future research endeavours must prioritize collaborative efforts involving health care providers, patients and their families by deploying an array of strategies within the intensive care unit setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of a standardized program for family participation in essential care activities in the ICU on symptoms of anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress and satisfaction among relatives, and perceptions and experiences of ICU healthcare providers (HCPs). DESIGN Multicenter stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial. SETTING Seven adult ICUs, one university, and six general teaching hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Three hundred six relatives and 235 ICU HCPs. INTERVENTIONS A standardized program to facilitate family participation inpatient communication, amusement/distraction, comfort, personal care, breathing, mobilization, and nutrition. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Data were collected through surveys among relatives and ICU HCPs. There were no significant differences in symptoms of anxiety in relatives in the intervention period compared with the control period (median Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS] 5 [interquartile range (IQR) 2-10] vs 6 [IQR 3-9]; median ratio [MR] 0.72; 95% CI, 0.46-1.13; p = 0.15), depression (median HADS 4 [IQR 2-6] vs 3 [IQR 1-6]; MR 0.85; 95% CI, 0.55-1.32; p = 0.47) or posttraumatic stress (median Impact of Event Scale-Revised score 0.45 [IQR 0.27-0.82] vs 0.41 [IQR 0.14-1]; MR 0.94; 95% CI, 0.78-1.14; p = 0.54). Reported satisfaction was slightly lower in the intervention period (mean 8.90 [ sd 1.10] vs mean 9.06 [ sd 1.10], difference -0.60; 95% CI, -1.07 to -0.12; p = 0.01). ICU HCPs perceived that more relatives knew how to participate: 47% in the intervention period versus 22% in the control period (odds ratio [OR] 3.15; 95% CI, 1.64-6.05; p < 0.01). They also reported relatives having sufficient knowledge (41% vs 16%; OR 3.56; 95% CI, 1.75-7.25; p < 0.01) and skills (44% vs 25%; OR 2.38; 95% CI, 1.22-4.63; p = 0.01) to apply family participation. CONCLUSIONS Application of a standardized program to facilitate family participation did not change mental health symptoms in relatives of ICU patients 3 months after discharge. ICU HCPs reported increased clarity, knowledge, and skills among relatives and ICU HCPs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The contributions of cognitive and behavioral work of patients' family members in intensive care units remain largely unrecognized. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to develop a framework of outwardly observable family work, with specific focus on describing the physical space. METHODS We conducted approximately 50 hrs of naturalistic observations of family activities on a medical intensive care unit (MICU) at a large, Midwestern teaching hospital. RESULTS We created a framework of activities that include requesting, receiving, or delivering either information or action, along with examples. Further, we identified clinician and staff roles with whom families interact and characterized the physical spaces in which interactions take place. CONCLUSIONS Knowledge contribution is a proposed framework of family activities in the MICU. It has the potential to guide and be further described by future research and to inform development of human-centered family-facing interventions to support cognitive and behavioral cognitive and behavioral work.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This study indicates that there are differences between hospitals in detection, as well as in adequate management of postsurgical complications, a phenomenon that is described as 'failure-to-rescue'.In this review, recent initiatives to reduce failure-to-rescue in the perioperative period are described. RECENT FINDINGS Use of cognitive aids, emergency manuals, family participation as well as remote monitoring systems are measures to reduce failure-to-rescue situations. Postoperative visit of an anaesthesiologist on the ward was not shown to improve outcome, but there is still room for improvement of postoperative care. SUMMARY Improving the complete emergency chain, including monitoring, recognition and response in the afferent limb, as well as diagnostic and treatment in the efferent limb, should lead to reduced failure-to-rescue situations in the perioperative period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the needs, perceptions and influencing factors according to former adult intensive care unit patients and relatives with regard to family participation in essential care in the unit. RESEARCH DESIGN A qualitative interpretive descriptive study using inductive thematic analysis. SETTING Twelve pairs of former Dutch patients and their relatives were interviewed within two months after the patient's discharge from the unit between December 2017 and April 2018. FINDINGS Four themes emerged: the family's history, the patient's condition, supporting the patient and supporting the relative. The family's history, in particular the relationship with the patient and former experience with care, determined the level of participation in essential care. The level of participation was also influenced by the patient's condition, more specifically level of consciousness, stability of the patient's situation and length of the patient's stay. The third theme, supporting the patient, related to presence/being able to 'be there' for the patient and a mostly positive attitude towards family participation. The last theme was supporting the relative, with three subthemes associated with relatives' needs and perceptions: (dis)comfort with participation in essential care, need for invitation and support, and concern about the possible strain experienced by relatives. CONCLUSION Supporting the patient and supporting the relative are reflecting the needs and perceptions of patients and relatives regarding family participation in essential care. Both the family's history and the patient's condition influence the relative's level of participation. Intensive care unit nurses and other healthcare providers could take these themes into account when encouraging family participation in essential care. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Patients' and relatives' needs and perceptions of family participation in essential care in the intensive care unit vary. Family participation in essential care is influenced by the family's history and the patient's condition. Healthcare providers could take these findings into account when implementing family participation in essential care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ICUs follow a restrictive companionship policy, especially after the COVID-19 outbreak. This strategy often limits the time families spend with patients, hinders their knowledge and skills in caregiving, and the sudden transfer of ICU patients to assist with disease monitoring and daily care can be very stressful for families. It is beneficial to use the transition period of transferring ICU patients to help families adjust to the role of caregiver. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To develop and implement a patient- and family-centered transitional care intervention plan for patients transferred to the ICU. DESIGN Prospective, pretest and posttest design. METHODS The experimental group received an individualized family-centered transition plan led by the ICU liaison nurse that included 1) communication with health care professionals; distribution of a transfer booklet; 2) identification of nursing issues and communication with the ward nurse; invitation of family members to participate in the patient's rehabilitation; 3) follow-up instruction on bedside range of motion exercises; and provision of a patient rehabilitation diary. Patients in the control group received only routine care. Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire, Family Satisfaction with ICU Patients (FS-ICU), the Family Relocation Stress Scale (FRSS), and the Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire (SASRQR). RESULTS After the intervention, the total family satisfaction score of ICU patients in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (87.18 ± 8.38 vs 78.74 ± 10.63, p<0.001), and the satisfaction with the care and information provided was significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.001), with no significant difference between the two groups in terms of satisfaction with decision making (p>0.001). The level of relocation stress of patients' families was significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group after the intervention (p < 0.001). And there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of patients' acute stress disorder scores (p>0.001). CONCLUSION The implementation of a family-involved transition care programme significantly improved the satisfaction of ICU patients' families and reduced the stress of relocation for patients' families. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Focusing on the transition of ICU patients to ensure continuity of critical care and improve the quality of care for ICU patient transfers can be accomplished through a family-centered transition care plan led by the ICU liaison nurse.
