Background Intensive care unit survivors often have diminished health-related quality of life. Objectives To describe health-related quality of life of former intensive care patients and identify associated factors 6 months after hospital discharge. Methods Six months after discharge, 193 patients from an intensive care unit completed the Short Form-36 Health Survey; measures of sleep; Intensive Care Experience Questionnaire; Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales; and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist. Norm-based scores were calculated for the Short Form-36. Bivariate associations with Short Form-36 scores were tested by using the Pearson correlation. Multiple linear regression was used to identify independent associations with health-related quality of life. Results All scores on the Short Form-36 (physical component summary, 41.8; mental component summary, 48.2) were less than population norms. Bivariate associations with health-related quality of life (P < .05) were scores on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, hospital length of stay, awareness of surroundings and frightening experiences, depression, anxiety, stress, posttraumatic symptoms, and sleep quality at 2 and 6 months. In linear regression, scores on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, hospital length of stay, and sleep quality at 6 months were independently associated with Short Form-36 physical summary scores (P < .001); depression and stress were independently associated with mental summary scores (P < .001). Conclusion Sleep, depression, and stress are potential targets for interventions to improve health-related quality of life and improve recovery.

Background: To date, there have been no studies comparing cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) with Rogerian therapy in post-traumatic stress disorder. Method: Sixty outpatients with DSM-IV chronic post-traumatic stress disorder were randomized into two groups for 16 weekly individual sessions of CBT or Rogerian supportive therapy (ST) at two centers. No medication was prescribed. Measures included the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale (PCLS), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and Quality of Life. The general criterion of improvement (GCI) was a score of less than 44 on the PCLS. Results: Forty-two patients were evaluated at post-test, 38 at week 52 and 25 at week 104. At post-test, the rate of patients leaving the trial due to worsening or lack of effectiveness was significantly higher in the ST group (p = 0.004). At this point, no between-group difference was found on the GCI and any of the rating scales. Intent-to-treat analysis found no difference for the GCI, but patients in the CBT group showed greater improvement on the PCLS and Hamilton Anxiety Scale. Naturalistic follow-up showed sustained improvement without between-group differences at weeks 52 and 104. Conclusions: CBT retained significantly more patients in treatment than ST, but its effects were equivalent to those of ST in the completers. CBT was better in the dimensional intent-to-treat analysis at post-test.

“…It is one of the most widely used self-report instruments for assessing PTSD [23][24]. Published accounts of PTSD screening for both civilian and military versions of the PCL, with variations in populations, settings, reference standards, research methods, and optimality criteria, have reported optimal cutoff scores ranging from 28 to 60 [22,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Each patient was given the PCL during consultation, with an opportunity to complete in a self-reported manner so that we could gain a raw score measure of PTSD symptom severity.…”

Abstract-Escalating prevalence estimates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among recently returning Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) veterans highlight the need for early detection and management for reducing chronic mental illness and disability. Because PTSD and chronic pain are common comorbid conditions among veterans, PTSD screening within specialty clinic settings addressing musculoskeletal pain may be of value. This retrospective study evaluated measures of diagnostic value for the PTSD Checklist (PCL) for a sample (n = 79) of OIF/OEF veterans seeking care for neck or back pain within a Department of Veterans Affairs specialty clinic. Because published accounts of optimal PCL cutoff scores vary considerably, we used receiver operating characteristic curves to identify whether the optimal PCL cutoff score for the sample differed from a conventional cutoff score of 50. A clinical psychologist experienced in diagnosing and managing PTSD confirmed the diagnosis of PTSD for 37 veterans through a review of clinical records. The prevalence of diagnosed PTSD was 46.8%, with an optimal PCL cutoff score of 44. These findings may guide future research and influence clinical practice regarding PTSD screening for recently returning veterans with chronic pain.
