Hypnosis to Improve Well-beings of Critically Ill Patients and Prevent Post-intensive Care Syndrome
Sponsor: COEN Matteo
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a hypnosis intervention in improving well-being at day 28 of an ICU stay. The main question it aims to answer is : -Does Hypnosis intervention at ICU discharge and on day 7 and 14 on the wards if the patient remains in the hospital, improve wellbeing at 28 days ? Researchers will compare discharged ICU patients who received standard post-discharge care to discharged ICU patients who received standard post-discharge care and hypnosis intervention on discharge and 7 and 14days after if they are still in the hospital, to see if hypnosis can improve their wellbeing. Participants will receive a hypnosis session on the day of ICU discharge, a second session seven days post-discharge and a third session at day 14 if they are still in the hospital.

Hypnosis
the hypnosis will be tailored to each patient. Key elements will include relaxation (to mitigate anxiety and stress and help the patient feel more comfortable, secure, and competent), reassociation techniques (to help the patient reconnect with their body, promoting a sense of embodiment and presence), and safe place (to introduce a safe and calming place to instill a sense of control and competence, aiding in emotional stabilization and fostering a sense of safety and well-being).
