Psychological Support Based on Positive Suggestions
Eligible patients will be randomized at the earliest possible time after meeting inclusion criteria. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to intervention by ICU doulas or a non-intervention arms stratified by ICU location. Both intervention and controls will receive standard medical care at the discretion of the ICU team. The intervention arm will receive PSBPS as soon as feasible and continue on a daily basis. Doulas will also liaise with family, the team, and with the nursing staff. Both intervention and standard of care arms will complete follow-up questionnaires measuring symptoms of anxiety, depression, acute stress and cognitive function after ICU discharge and at 6 months follow up by phone. All the patients randomized to the intervention arm will receive the same intervention.
