  • The study evaluated a communication strategy for relatives of ICU patients facing end-of-life, involving longer, more interactive conferences and a bereavement brochure to see if it could reduce long-term stress and anxiety.
  • Participants in the intervention group had longer, more communicative meetings and experienced lower levels of posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and depression 90 days after the patient's death.
  • Overall, providing detailed information and emotional support through structured communication appears to help relatives cope better with grief and reduce psychological symptoms after losing a loved one in the ICU.]
