Evaluation of Psychological Impact of Group Therapy for Patients Who Have Been Hospitalized in Intensive Care During COVID-19 Pandemic: Exploratory Study (GPR COVID)

August 29, 2023 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Metropole Savoie

Psychological impact of intensive care hospitalization for patients has been demonstrated during the last few years: anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Hospitalizations during COVID-19 pandemic have been marked by factors such as confinement forbidding family members visits, stress on intensive care unit ...Those factors may have a psychological impact added to factors of long hospitalization and prolonged mechanical ventilation.

For all these reasons the investigators fear that patients hospitalized in intensive care during COVID-19 pandemic develop psychological trouble with an increased risk for those who experienced COVID-19 infection. The hypothesis therapy group added to standard care might have a positive impact on psychological troubles such as anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder for patients who have been hospitalized in intensive care during COVID-19 pandemic.

The investigators will compare two groups:

  • group receiving standard of care
  • group receiving standard of care and therapy group
