A 5-point strategy for improved connection with relatives of critically ill patients with Covid-19

Article indépendant

AZOULAY, Elie | KENTISH-BARNES, Nancy

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread throughout the world, leading hospitals to expand their critical-care capacity. Logistics in times of surging demand are challenging. Health-care providers are overwhelmed by the relentless workload and tend to focus on the patients, as they have little time for family-centred care. In many places, a nearly complete lockdown combined with stringent social distancing measures have been put in place in an attempt to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospital visits are prohibited to ensure that relatives do not contaminate other family members, patients, or health-care professionals. However, the burden on intensive care unit (ICU) relatives of patients with COVID-19 is particularly heavy. The lockdown imposed by many governments can result in confusion, stress, frustration, anger, communication gaps, and post-traumatic stress-related symptoms. [Début de l'article]
