Abstract  |
The author presents research on nursing strategies that reduce the psychological effects of critical illness and prevent the intensive care unit (ICU) atmosphere from adversely affecting the nurse-patient relationship. Post-traumatic stress disorder and other phobic anxiety syndromes are noted as a risk among former ICU patients. Four interventions to put in place for discharge are presented: patient-centred nursing, communication, multidisciplinary care, and patient/family education. | ||||
