“…This was also reported by a recent study by Castillo et al ( 34 ) finding that when patients had the choice, they chose a discharge summary rather than the ICU diary, with half of the patients reporting distress reading the ICU diary. It is possible that, in some patients, the distress induced by the traumatic event would lead to avoidant coping strategies ( 35 , 36 ), expressed in a certain “desire to forget,” that is challenged by the diary. These patients would therefore defensively disregard or misuse the diary.…”

“…PICS is a clustering of symptoms in former ICU patients and describes physical impairment (e.g., pain, tiredness, muscles loss, sleep disturbances, swallowing problems), cognitive deterioration However, the ongoing debate on best practices for supporting the former ICU patients and their relatives for the consequences of an ICU admission is still inconclusive.

Patients' relatives canalso suffer from PICS, although this is restricted to emotional consequences over the long term [4]. The insufficient ability to adapt to and self-manage emotional turmoil mayweaken and influence health [8]. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to provide understanding and supportto reduce the impact of an ICU admission.The awareness of this impact has increased in ICU professionals. Hospitals have introduced new methods of aftercare such as rehabilitation treatment, post ICU clinics, and peer support [2,9,10].

“…Coping with critical illness in the intensive care unit (ICU) can be a challenging experience for patients and their families and involves dealing with a range of physical, emotional, and psychological challenges that can be overwhelming. In particular, the loss of a sense of control that patients have over their medical care when they are unable to communicate or make decisions about their medical treatment may lead to feelings of helplessness or frustration, fear of death, and demoralization ( 1 – 4 ). Patients and their families can try to focus on positive aspects of the situation, such as the care and attention provided by medical staff, the potential for recovery, and the strength of their relationships.…”
