Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the experiences of family members and health care providers regarding the use of ICU diaries, which are intended to prevent psychiatric symptoms in critical illness survivors and provide other benefits.
- A thorough literature search identified 28 studies revealing that families find the diaries informative and a means to express their emotions, while healthcare providers see value but also face challenges in writing them.
- The findings suggest that while ICU diaries are seen as a beneficial intervention, attention is needed to address the difficulties encountered in the writing process for both families and healthcare staff.
