Family members may experience post-traumatic stress as many as
six months after a loved one's stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), according to a study by researchers at the University
of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and University of California, San Francisco. The study, published online in the Journal
of General Internal Medicine, found that symptoms of anxiety and depression in family members of ICU patients diminished
over time, but high rates of post-traumatic stress and complicated grief remained.
