Popis: | AIMS & OBJECTIVE: To theorise ICU survivorship after a critical illness based on longitudinal qualitative data.BACKGROUND: Increasingly patients survive episodes of critical illness. However, the short and long term impact of critical illness include physical, psychological, social and economic challenges long after hospital discharge. An appreciation is emerging that care needs to extend beyond critical illness to enable patients to reclaim their lives post-discharge with the term 'Survivorship' being increasingly used in this context. What constitutes critical illness survivorship has, to date, not been theoretically explored.DESIGN: Longitudinal-qualitative and constructivist Grounded Theory. Interviews (n = 46) with 17 participants were conducted at four time points: (1) before discharge from hospital, (2) 4-6 weeks post-discharge, (3) 6 months and (4) 12 months post-discharge across two adult intensive care setting.METHOD: Individual face-to-face interviews. Data analysis followed the principles of Charmaz's Constructivist Grounded Theory. 'ICU survivorship' emerged as the core category and was theorised using concepts such as Status Passages, Liminality and Temporality to understand the various transitions participants made post-critical illness.FINDINGS: Intensive care survivorship describes the unscheduled status passage of falling critically ill and being taken to the threshold of life and the journey to a life post-critical illness. Surviving critical illness goes beyond recovery; surviving means 'moving on' to life post-critical illness. 'Moving on' incorporates a re-definition of self that incorporates any lingering intensive care legacies and being in control of one's life again.RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: For healthcare professionals and policy makers it is important to realise that recovery and transitioning through to survivorship happens within an individual's time frame, not a schedule imposed by the healthcare system. Currently there are no care pathways or policies in place for critical illness survivors that would support ICU survivors and their families in the transitions to survivorship.
