Use of hypnosis to improve patient well-being after intensive care hospitalization and prevent post-intensive care syndrome
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
This study aims to investigate the effect of hypnosis to help patients after a stay in intensive care. A first hypnosis session is offered at the time of discharge from the intensive care unit, followed by two more sessions on days 7 and 14. We believe that this can improve the short-term well-being of these patients and reduce, in the longer term, the symptoms of post-intensive care syndrome that affect 20-40% of patients 3 to 6 months after an intensive care stay, manifesting as anxiety, sadness, and a decrease in quality of life.
