To determine the incidence of «Prolonged Grief Disorder» from one year after the death of a relative admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.A cross-sectional, longitudinal follow-up study was conducted in a general ICU of a reference hospital. The relatives were evaluated approximately one year after the death using the «Consensus Criteria for Prolonged Grief Disorder» as a tool. The prevalence between the first and second years was determined.A total of 151 relatives of patients who died in ICU were included. The follow-up was carried out 22.1±5.3 months after the death. Eleven relatives (10.3%) fulfilled the «Consensus Criteria for Prolonged Grief Disorder». Of all the grieving relatives, those identified with prolonged grief disorder are the ones who most often require psychological/psychiatric support.In a sample of close relatives of patients who died in ICU, a significant minority fulfilled the criteria for «Prolonged Grief Disorder» 1-2 years after the death. This condition, which is often overlooked, and could require some kind of psychological treatment, should be taken into consideration. |
