Improving Outcomes After PICU Admission: A Pilot Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

1. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an information based intervention delivered to parents following their child's admission to paediatric intensive care; 2. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the study design and procedures; 3. Explore the effects of the intervention on parent and child psychological outcomes 3-6 months post discharge from PICU; 4. Explore the effects of parental stress experienced during PICU admission on the effectiveness of the intervention; 5. To provide data that, combined with results from other studies, could inform the sample size for a future multi-site RCT.

Clinical Trial Description

Most children are now expected to make a complete medical recovery following admission to PICU. However, research suggests that some children will go on to develop psychological difficulties, such as problems with emotions, behaviour, and learning. In addition, parents themselves may suffer with emotional difficulties. Although the follow-up of survivors is recommended, there are currently no specific guidelines in place. Intervention in the early stages of recovery could help families pull through without long lasting after-effects. ;
