Summary

The aim of our study is to determine the feasibility of carrying out a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate whether screening parents of children admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) so as to target follow-up at those most at risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), is effective at reducing adverse psychological sequelae.

Follow up Clinic for High risk participants

Families where either or both parents are screened to be at risk of PTSD or depression are randomised in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention or control arm. Those in the intervention arm will receive an offer of a follow up clinic two months post discharge, staffed by the unit Clinical Psychologist, a PICU doctor and PICU nurse. Those in the control arm will not be offered a follow up clinic.
