Paula Price Memorial Education Series: Patient & Family Centred Care – Sess 2

Reimagining family-centered care (FCC) in the context of post-intensive care syndrome-family (PICS-F): A call for renewed focus.
In this presentation, critical care nurses will delve into the multifaceted realm of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) and post-intensive care syndrome-family (PICS-F). Attendees will learn about PICS-F within the context of critical care nursing practice. Attendees will gain insight into the pivotal role of informal caregivers, defined as individuals providing unpaid care to family members or friends with illness or disability, and the unique challenges they face within the healthcare system. Through a critical examination of existing resources and literature gaps, opportunities for enhancing support systems tailored to the needs of family caregivers affected by PICS-F will also be presented.Members Only

P Price Memorial Education Series 2025 – Patient and Family Centred Care

From chaos to clarity: The therapeutic potential of journals and diaries to recall the intensive care unit (ICU) journey.
Critical care diaries and journals are significantly underutilized in the clinical setting and yet provide significant therapeutic benefit. Applicable to all critical care areas and demographics, the benefits of this creative outlet for both families and patients has been explored greatly. This presentation will summarize the evidence behind encouragement of journaling during the critical illness experience; educate about positive outcomes for patients, families, and care teams; identify barriers to implementation; and provide project implementation strategies for units and families at all accessibility and budget levels.Members Only
