HENAO-CASTANO, Ángela María; RIVERA-ROMERO, Nathaly e OSPINA GARZON, Heidi Paola. Experience of Post-ICU Syndrome in Critical Disease Survivors. Aquichan [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.1, E2216. Epub 26-Jan-2022. ISSN 1657-5997. https://doi.org/10.5294/aqui.2022.22.1.6.
Introduction:
Surviving Intensive Care Unit (ICU) brings positive and negative feelings, depending on each person's experience. Likewise, some patients may present with negative mental and physical consequences after discharge, causing a very complex stay at home.
Aim:
To understand the experience of critical illness survivors after three months of ICU discharge.
Methods:
Hermeneutical phenomenological study using in-depth interviews with 15 adult participants after three months of ICU discharge. Data analysis was made considering Cohen, Kahn, and Steeves' procedures.
Results:
Phenomenological analysis revealed three existential themes: Changes in memory and mood, Changes in day-to-day life, and My body after ICU.
Conclusion:
Surviving ICU brings with it positive aspects such as winning a battle against death. However, psychological, emotional, and physical consequences after discharge turn it into an exhausting experience.
