Post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression in North African intensive care unit survivors: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Survivors of critical illness often face significant physical and psychological challenges, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression, which can severely impact their quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and associated factors of PTSD, anxiety, and depression among intensive care unit (ICU) survivors 3 months after discharge, and investigate the prevalence and determinants of post-intensive care syndrome-related neuropsychiatric disorders (PICS-ND).

Methods

This is a prospective observational analytical study carried out in a medical ICU. Three months after discharge from the ICU, survivors were contacted by telephone to complete the Impact Event Scale-Revised and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale question
