Core Tip |
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic produced changes in patient care and organization of intensive care units (ICUs). The pandemic event increased patients’ risk of developing psychological symptoms during and after hospitalisation. We carried out a systematic review of the psychological issues raised in ICUs during the COVID-19 pandemic which concerned patients, their relatives, and the ICU staff. Our results point to increased perceived stress and psychological distress in staff, patients and their relatives and increased worry for being infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 in patients and relatives. Promising results were obtained for some psychological programmes and interventions using digital tools and virtual reality aiming at improving psychological measures in all ICU categories. |
