Summary

This pilot study will test a nurse-led educational program for caregivers of ICU patients.

Researchers will enroll 20 adult caregivers to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and whether it might reduce anxiety and depression.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a simple, low-cost way to reduce stress and improve satisfaction for families of ICU patients.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study (20 people) testing only feasibility, not effectiveness. The intervention may not reduce distress or may not be practical in busy ICUs.
