Covid19, Critical Illness, Family, Psychological Stress
Conditions
Brief summary
During the first part of the SRAS-COV2 pandemic, families were not allowed to visit the patients in ICU. We know that families can develop Family-PICS after their relatives' ICU stay. The aim of the study is to study the psychosocial outcomes of families of patients who were admitted in ICU for COVID-19 during the pandemic. The second objective was to search for any differences in outcomes whether families benefited from video-conferences with the medical team and their relatives or not during the ICU stay.
