A Prospective Study to Investigate Relationships Between Patient and Family Caregiver Distress Following Neuroscience ICU Admission
The current study has the following objectives:
1. To determine predictors of time 2 and 3 (3 and 6 months post-ICU admission) depression,
PTSD, satisfaction with life and quality of life in both patients and caregivers, after
controlling for injury severity and impairment.
2. To determine factors associated with patient and caregiver satisfaction with medical
care at time 2 and time 3.
The investigators would thus be able to identify the best time point for intervention
delivery, intervention targets, and risk factors for chronic psychological distress.
