Clinical Trial Summary

An increased proportion of deaths occur in the intensive care unit (ICU). Some amenable factors such as end-of-life practices may contribute to complicated grief.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, visitor restrictions in health care facilities have been implemented. Families were also unable to implement usual funerals. The investigators hypothesize that these policies and practices may impact grief during covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of complicated grief after death of a relative in the ICU during the COVID-19 pandemic.
