Coping with delirium
Delirium is an experience many ICU patients have had. How have you coped with your delirium experience? ICUsteps is helping with a project about delirium experiences and if you have had delirium or are a family member who witnessed delirium we would love to hear from you. Have you been able to cope with your experiences and transform it into a positive. For patients it could be talking to a nurse who explained hallucinations, reading your diary about the stay in ICU, attending a support group or getting counselling. For family members, it may be being encouraged to re-orientate a loved-one during their delirium, or calming them down by holding hands, or other situations.
Would you share your experience (only 300 words).
This is an international study, and we want to analyse how persons with delirium experiences and their families can cope successfully with delirium, and use these insights to help future patients in dealing with delirium in a better way.
The survey is open today, World Delirium Awareness Day, March 12th until April 23rd 2025
