Strengthening Hope After ICU Discharge
Sponsor: Oslo University Hospital
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an interventional program that aims to strengthen hope in intensive care unit (ICU) patients in the rehabilitation phase. The main questions it aims to answer are: To develop and implement a follow-up service to strengthen hope in ICU patients, and to evaluate the effect on hope in a stepped wedge randomized trial. To identify possible predictive factors (facilitators and barriers) associated with hope. Participants will be asked to take part in an ICU follow-up service, a "Hope Intervention" consisting of digital individual- and group conversations. The program will address topics that are important for hope, such as active involvement, social relationships, believes and thoughts of the future. We will compare the level of hope between participants who have completed the "Hope Intervention" to those that have not yet completed the program.
