Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to conduct a longitudinal study to clarify changes in post-intensive care syndrome-family (PICS-F) and resilience after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and the impact of resilience on PICS-F.
Regarding the implementation of the survey, we reviewed the research plan twice, adjusted the survey implementation facility, and applied for the ethics committee due to the influence of the situation from 2020. In addition, the research plan was reviewed, the parts that could be researched at that time were examined, and the contents of the analysis of the relationship of the whole family were written as a paper. Although part of the original research plan was changed, we believe that the publication of the contents of family relationships to achieve the final goal of this research was valuable basic material for building family support in the critical care area.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術意義として、PICS-Fとレジリエンス、家族機能のメカニズムに注目し、精神的苦痛を抱えた状態のみでなく、家族の強みにも注目することにより一連の現象を把握したことである。　社会的意義として、ICUは、重症患者の管理・支援が主な業務になり、家族の支援は見過ごされがちである。本研究成果は、臨床現場で必要な支援を、科学的根拠を基に開発する役割を担うことが期待される。さらに集中治療室の家族支援を体系的に示すことも目指しているため、本研究の成果は、クリティカルケア領域の援助者に効果的な家族支援法を提示することが期待できる。
