New-found researches in Brazilian ICUs indicates the pervasiveness of these symptoms in patients who have been hospitalized in the unit, however, there are no randomized trials that evaluate the impact of Diaries in the Brazilian context. The aim is to explore the effects of providing an ICU Diary in the symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD within patients who were hospitalized in the unit.
