Abstract

The relatively high rates of mental stress among critically ill patients and their relatives implies the necessity of conceptually and financially embedded psychological care in intensive care units (ICUs). Professional associations also recommend the involvement of psychological professionals and screening of mental symptoms in critically ill patients. Intensive care medicine psychologists and psychotherapists take this as an opportunity to describe the content and goals of psychological care. Task areas are care for patients and relatives as well as staff support. Goals of psychological support in the ICU are detection of mental symptoms in patients and their treatment, psychological first aid for relatives in crisis situations, and support of the staff in terms of communication with patients and relatives as well as regarding development and maintenance of an adaptive coping style for dealing with emotionally challenging situations. Psychological care in the ICU is offered by psychologists, psychotherapists, or physicians with a psychotherapeutic qualification. The psychologist is integrated into the ICU team and has a proactive, resource-oriented, and supportive orientation. Psychological support can be an enrichment and a relief, both in the interdisciplinary treatment of patients as well as in the care of relatives, and also represent a resource for the team.
