The association between posttraumatic stress symptoms and hope following intensive care unit discharge: Findings from a longitudinal cohort study
Hope scores remained stable during the first year after ICU admission. Lower levels of PTSS at 3 months after admission, being employed prior to admission, and having longer hospital stay were associated with higher hope during the first year after admission. Given the small sample, more research in larger samples is needed to enhance the clinical relevance of these findings.
