The aim of this study was to elucidate the meaning of critical illness for people with COVID-19. This study used a qualitative design. Thirteen people who were critically ill with COVID-19 during 2020 and admitted to a COVID-19 intensive care unit in northern Sweden participated in the study. Data collection was conducted as individual interviews with a narrative approach, and data were analyzed with phenomenological hermeneutic interpretation. The participants did not think they would get critically ill with this unexpected illness. They experienced terrible nightmares where their relatives had been killed, and they missed their relatives both in their dreams and in reality, as they had not been allowed to be with them due to the virus. Gratefulness was described for surviving. Participants described thoughts of not being able to imagine going through this again. They felt fear and loneliness, as a terrifying unreality had become a reality.
这项研究的目的是阐明 COVID-19 患者对重病的理解。本研究采用定性设计。2020 年期间，13 名在瑞典北部的 COVID-19 重症监护病房（ICU）接受治疗的 COVID-19 重症患者参与了这项研究。数据收集采用个体访谈和叙事方法进行，采用现象学诠释学解释进行数据分析。参与者没想到他们会因这种意外疾病而病重。他们经历了可怕的噩梦，梦中他们的亲人被杀，他们在梦中和现实中都想念他们的亲人，因为病毒，他们不能和他们在一起。对幸存表示感激。参与者描述了无法想象再次经历这一切的想法。他们感到恐惧和孤独，因为可怕的不真实已经变成了现实。
