The study aims to define the prevalence of PICS-F in the study population 3-4 months after ICU admission of patient, specifically symptoms of PTSD as the primary outcome, and symptoms of depression and anxiety as secondary outcomes. The study hypothesizes prevalence will be higher than seen in other studies. An additional aim is to identify predisposing or mitigating exposures for PICS-F. The study hypothesizes that increased psychological symptoms will be associated less exposure to virtual patient visits (tablet/video conferencing), higher number of patient comorbidities (using the Charleston comorbidity index), preexisting family member psychological conditions. The study also plans to evaluate the association between family perception of quality of communication or decision-making using items from the validated Family Satisfaction in the ICU (FS-ICU) and psychological symptoms. The study hypothesizes that the quality of communication and decision-making will be associated with lower psychological symptoms. Finally, the plan is to, using qualitative methods, explore and describe family members' stress, experiences with communication with healthcare providers and their satisfaction with ICU care while being physically distant from their loved ones. The aim is to use qualitative findings about family members' experiences to contextualize and explain results differences in stress, satisfaction and communication quality between low vs high PICS-F scores.
