Impact of a Volunteer‐Delivered Spiritual Care Strategy on Preventing Post‐Intensive Care Syndrome‐Family in Relatives of Critically Ill <scp>ICU</scp> Patients: A Quasi‐Experimental Study

This study demonstrates that a structured, non-denominational spiritual care intervention can significantly reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress in family members of ICU patients. By integrating generalist spiritual support into ICU family care, delivered by trained volunteers using telehealth platforms, critical care teams can offer compassionate, accessible, and scalable support that addresses emotional and existential suffering. These findings highlight the importance of integrating spiritual care into multidisciplinary approaches to prevent PICS-F and promote holistic, family-centred care in intensive care settings.
