About this study
This study evaluates if a web-based 1-year programme is a useful method for follow-up intensive care survivors with short ICU-stay. Half of the participants are randomized into receiving the web-based follow-up while the other half will receive no follow-up.
Read the detailed description
It is not uncommon for Intensive care survivors to have persisting, psychiatric, cognitive and physical impairments long time after the critical illness occurred. Today, nurse-led follow-up is used but the main focus is on patients with a ICU-stay for at least three days. This study evaluates ICU-survivors with a maximum ICU-stay for 72 hours.
Participants are randomized to the web-based one year follow-up programme and no follow-up. Both group receive questionnaire 2, 6 and 12 month after the end of their intensive care stay.
The web-based follow-up programme includes, short lectures that describes the intensive care e.g. hallucinations, memory loss and delirium. The programme also include short films that shows the medical equipment and how and why it´s used. Regular contact with ICU-nurse to discuss any upcoming problems.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Web-based follow-up programme.Behavioural
Participants who are randomized to the intervention-group will have access to web-based follow-up for one year. The programme includes short films of equipment used in intensive care e.g. ventilator, suction-device. Continous renal replacement therapy , central vein catheter among other things. About 15 short films with icu-staff talking and show how the equipment works and alarm sounds. The intervention also includes lectures about how the ICU works and what problems a critically ill patient can suffer from post-icu. There is a built-in conversation tool in the programme that can be used both by the participant and the staff who works with the follow-up programme. Questionnaires is sent out 2,6 and 12 month post-icu. The questions include PTSD, Depression, QoL and physical activity. At the end of the study, participants are sent a questionnaire asking for their experience using the web-based follow up programme.
No follow-upBehavioural
Participants randomized to "no follow-up" receive e-questionnaires 2, 6 and 12 months post-ICU care. The questions are the same as in web-based follow-up intervention group and include PTSD, Depression, QoL and physical activity.
