Assessing psychological distress in cancer patients in intensive care: Validation of the intensive care psychological assessment tool in Mexico
The Mexican version of the IPAT for people with cancer is a valid and reliable tool for use in oncology and critical care settings in Mexico. It is recommended for use at the time of discharge from the ICU, as it allows the identification of psychological distress for timely intervention. For future considerations, diverse clinical settings and patient populations should be explored to enhance the tool's applicability and generalizability in the varied contexts of cancer in ICU.
