Long Time

To suffer from a critical illness or injury requiring treatment in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a traumatic experience that may affect patients and their relatives for a long time. This study aimed to explore intensive care survivors’ experiences of recovery after hospital discharge, from the patient perspective. A qualitative interview study with 12 interviews was conducted and analyzed using inductive content analysis. Four categories emerged from the data: Bodily changes, Emotional experiences, A prolonged struggle and Gratitude. The findings indicate that the life situation of intensive care survivors is changed, that recovery takes time and that the feeling of gratitude for having survived is strong.

Prognostic Uncertainty

Abstract Objective This study aims to characterize the experience of prognostic uncertainty for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) parents. Study Design We conducted a qualitative interview study of current and former NICU parents regarding their experience with prognostic uncertainty in the NICU. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a grounded theory methodology. Results Twenty-four parents were interviewed before achieving thematic saturation. Three phases of the parental experience of prognostic uncertainty emerged: shock, gray daze, and looking forward. These phases often, but not always, occurred sequentially. In shock, parents felt overwhelmed by uncertainty and were unable to visualize a future for their family. In gray daze, parents felt frustrated by the continued uncertainty. While accepting the possibility of a future for their family, they could not conceptualize a path by which to achieve it. In looking forward, parents accepted uncertainty as inevitable and incorporated it into their vision of the future. Conclusion While each parent experienced the prognostic uncertainty in the neonatal intensive care unit in their own way, we found three common experiential phases. By understanding how a parent experiences prognostic uncertainty in these phases, providers may become better able to communicate and form therapeutic relationships with parents.
