In ICU survivors, QOL is a dynamic term that identifies to what extent a critical illness has affected one's life. As an outcome measure, QOL has been studied in ICU survivors over the last few years. Researchers suggest that QOL is poor following ICU admission, and identify specific QOL issues that ICU survivors deal with, mostly related to physical functioning. The critical care nurse's role is to better QOL by improving the ICU survivor's transition into the post-ICU period through improved mobility, good management of sedation, pain, sleep and, most importantly, discharge planning.
在重症监护病房（ICU）幸存者中，生活质量是一个动态术语，用于确定危重病对一个人生活的影响程度。作为一项结果指标，在过去几年中，人们对ICU幸存者的生活质量进行了研究。研究人员表明，入住ICU后生活质量较差，并确定了ICU幸存者面临的特定生活质量问题，这些问题大多与身体功能有关。重症护理护士的作用是通过改善活动能力、合理管理镇静、疼痛、睡眠，以及最重要的出院计划，帮助ICU幸存者更好地过渡到ICU后的阶段，从而提高他们的生活质量。
