Can a simple diary ease the trauma for families after a Child's ICU?
NCT ID NCT04961697
Summary
This study tested whether giving families a hospital diary to write in during their child's pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) stay could improve mental health outcomes. Researchers enrolled 431 family members of children in four Brazilian PICUs to see if the diaries reduced anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress after discharge. The goal was to find a simple, supportive tool to help families cope with the stress of a child's critical illness.
