The intensive care unit (ICU) is a stressful environment for patients and their families as well as healthcare workers (HCWs). Distress, which is a negative emotional or physical response to a stressor is common in the ICU. Psychological first aid (PFA) is a form of mental health assistance provided in the immediate aftermath of disasters or other critical incidents to address acute distress and re-establish effective coping and functioning. The aim of this narrative review is to inform the development and utilization of PFA by HCWs in the ICU to reduce the burden of distress among patients, caregivers, and HCWs. This is the first such review to apply PFA to the ICU setting.
重症监护病房（ICU）对患者及其家属以及医护人员（HCW）来说都是一个充满压力的环境。痛苦是对压力源的一种负面情绪或身体反应，在ICU中很常见。心理急救（PFA）是在灾难或其他重大事件发生后立即提供的一种心理健康援助形式，旨在应对急性痛苦并重新建立有效的应对能力和功能。本叙述性综述的目的是为ICU中医护人员开展和应用心理急救提供信息，以减轻患者、护理人员和医护人员的痛苦负担。这是首次将心理急救应用于ICU环境的此类综述。
