Factors of prolonged-grief-disorder symptom trajectories for ICU bereaved family surrogates
Membership in the PGD-symptom trajectories was associated with factors modifiable by high-quality ICU care, including anxiety symptoms at early bereavement and surrogate-perceived QODD in the ICU. Clinicians should be sensitive to the psychological needs of at-risk family surrogates, provide high-quality end-of-life care to facilitate QODD, and promptly refer bereaved surrogates who suffer anxiety symptoms and profound and/or persistent PGD-symptoms for psychological support.
