The interactivity and independence of Recovery challenges and coping strategies for ICU survivors and their caregivers: a systematic review and Meta-synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The post-ICU home recovery period requires patients and caregivers to confront recovery challenges and adopt coping strategies as a family dyad, necessitating effective dyadic interaction patterns. Existing qualitative research shows that the dyads face interactive or independent challenges and employs varying coping strategies, which may include strong communication or, conversely, avoidance. However, a single qualitative study alone might offer limited generalizability, and there is a lack of broader, more nuanced understanding about the recovery challenge and copings among ICU survivors and caregivers. This meta-synthesis aims to figure out the interactivity and independence of challenges and coping strategies during the recovery process for ICU survivors and caregive
