Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to investigate stressful experiences of ICU patients who were on artificial respirators for 12 hours or longer and discover factors relevant to such experiences, we developed the Japanese version of the ICU Stressful Experiences Questionnaire (ICU-SEQJ) consisting of 34 stressful experience items, and interviewed such patients before they left the ICU. Among 96 ICU patients, nearly 80 percent of them experienced dry mouth, and nearly 70 percent experienced movement restriction, difficulty in speaking, discomfort, pain and tension due to the tracheal tube. Factors relevant to such experiences were the doses of analgesics and sedatives, pain complaints, CRP value before extubation, duration of intubation, absence of previous history and emergency ICU admission. Since patients' stressful experiences are affected by their other stressful experiences, and also affected by their ICU admission conditions and previous history.
