2021, Australian Critical CareCitation Excerpt :One pilot study22 reported patients' psychological symptoms at 2 weeks and identified that most patients had self-reported levels of emotional distress requiring support and reassurance; however, reporting was unclear, limiting confidence in this finding. The other study25 reported moderate reductions in trait anxiety, as measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory,29 in the intervention group (d = 0.50) and in depressive symptoms, as measured using the Cardiac Depression Scale,30 although not statistically significantly different. The RCT23 reported on readmission rates at 6 weeks after discharge, with no significant differences between the intervention and control groups (8% vs. 4%; p = 0.56).
