| Abstract (English): |
Currently, research emphasizes psychological support for families and health care providers in the critical care unit, rather than patient care in each of the phases associated with the disease. In this article, we use the clinical case of a patient with COVID-19, critically ill, with multiple complications that lead to the discussion and proposal of protocols for comprehensive psychological care to patients, their families, and health care providers in critical care units. It is crucial, in the efforts required to achieve patient's recovery and medical discharge, to integrate the patient into psychological care programs. Many of the sensations and emotions experienced in the ICU could produce physical reactions that hinder the patient's hemodynamic stability and recovery process. Few studies have been found on the usefulness of psychological or psychiatric care for patients with severe or critical COVID-19. Most of the recently reported studies are focused on psychological care for families and health care providers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Actualmente, las investigaciones hacen énfasis en el apoyo psicológico a las familias y proveedores de salud en la unidad de cuidados críticos, más que la atención al paciente en cada una de las fases asociadas a la enfermedad. En este artículo, utilizamos un caso clínico de un paciente con COVID-19 que se encontraba en estado crítico con múltiples complicaciones para discutir y proponer protocolos de atención psicológica integral a pacientes, sus familias y proveedores de salud en unidades de cuidados intensivos. Se evidenció que, para lograr la recuperación y el alta médica del paciente, es de mucha utilizad la atención psicológica para él, los proveedores de salud y sus familiares. Muchas de las sensaciones y emociones vividas en la UCI pueden producir reacciones físicas que dificulten la estabilidad hemodinámica y el proceso de recuperación del paciente. Se han encontrado pocos estudios sobre la utilidad de la atención psicológica o psiquiátrica a pacientes con COVID-19 grave o crítico. La mayoría de los estudios informados recientemente se centran en la atención psicológica para familias y proveedores de atención médica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
