Abstract
Background
The association between intensive care unit (ICU) survivors' psychological sequelae,
individual care needs, and discharge disposition has not been evaluated.
Objective
To describe depressive symptoms and anxiety in ICU survivors and explore these symptoms
based on individual care needs and discharge disposition for 4 months post-ICU discharge.
Methods
We analyzed data from 39 ICU survivors who self-reported measures of depressive symptoms
(Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression 10 items [CESD-10]) and anxiety (Shortened Profile of Mood States-Anxiety subscale [POMS-A]).
Results
A majority of patients reported CESD-10 scores above the cut off (≥ 8) indicating
risk for clinical depression. POMS-A scores were highest within 2 weeks post-ICU discharge
and decreased subsequently. Data trends suggest worse depressive symptoms and anxiety
when patients had moderate to high care needs and/or were unable to return home.
Conclusion
ICU survivors who need caregiver assistance and extended institutional care reported
trends of worse depressive symptoms and anxiety.
