Summary

Background: Psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), are common among critical disease survivors. Interventions aimed to decrease ICU impact on patient mental well-being are needed.

Methods/Design: The study will evaluate an educational nursing intervention addressed to ease the transition during ICU discharge by empowering the patient. A quantitative design will be used to measure the effectiveness of the nursing intervention through an experimental pre-test/post-test with control group design.

Participants will consist of patients from three critical care units from three different hospitals.

Data will be obtained from Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Data will be analysed through descriptive and inferential statistics.

Discussion: This study will help to develop and implement an intervention to help patients lessen anxiety and depression associated to their transition from ICU to the general ward.

Nursing Empowerment Intervention

Nursing empowerment intervention The intervention will be carried out during the ICU discharge planning. A "Patient Information Guide for Intensive Care Unit patients" will be developed. The guide will be based on the findings obtained in a previous qualitative study and on previous studies on patient empowerment and education. Its structure will take into account the dimensions of empowerment: bio-physiological, functional, social, experience, ethics and the financial aspect. The guide will be reviewed by experts in the development of information guides for patients and family members and will be evaluated by the participating ICUs before use. EG patients will receive the intervention verbally and in booklet format from the study nurses at each ICU.
