The number of people surviving critical illness is rising rapidly around the globe. Survivorship comes at a cost, with approximately half of patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) experiencing clinically significant symptoms of anxiety, and 32-40% of survivors having substantial anxiety symptoms in the months or years after hospitalization.
This feasibility study reports on 11 consecutive ARF patients receiving up to six sessions of a psychological intervention for self-management of anxiety.
All 11 patients accepted and received the psychological intervention. Four patients did not fully complete all 6 sessions due to death ( = 1, 2 sessions completed), and early hospital discharge ( = 3, patients completed 2, 3 and 5 sessions). The median (IQR) score (range: 0-100; minimal clinically important difference: 13) for the Visual Analog Scale-Anxiety (VAS-A) pre-intervention was 70 (57, 75) points. During the intervention, all 11 patients had a decrease in VAS-A, with a median (IQR) decrease of 44 (19, 48) points.
This self-management intervention appears acceptable and feasible to implement among ARF patients during and after an ICU stay.
全球危重病幸存者的数量正在迅速增加。生存是有代价的,大约一半的急性呼吸衰竭(ARF)患者出现临床上显著的焦虑症状,32%-40%的幸存者在住院后的数月或数年中有明显的焦虑症状。
本可行性研究报告了11例连续的ARF患者接受了多达6次的焦虑自我管理心理干预。
所有11例患者均接受并接受了心理干预。4例患者由于死亡(1例,完成2次治疗)和提前出院(3例,患者分别完成2次、3次和5次治疗)未完全完成所有6次治疗。干预前视觉模拟量表-焦虑(VAS-A)的中位数(IQR)评分(范围:0-100;最小临床重要差异:13)为70(57,75)分。在干预期间,所有11例患者的VAS-A评分均下降,中位数(IQR)下降44(19,48)分。
这种自我管理干预在ICU住院期间及之后的ARF患者中似乎是可接受且可行的。
