Summary

This trial is testing whether a daily psychotherapeutic approach can help critically ill patients.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for critically ill adults over 18 who need breathing support like non-invasive ventilation or mechanical ventilation and will likely stay in the ICU for more than 48 hours. It's not for those with dementia, severe brain dysfunction due to liver problems, on end-of-life care, unlikely to survive their hospital stay, don't speak English, have a history of serious mental illness or substance issues.

What is being tested?

The study tests a psychological support method using positive suggestions given daily in the ICU. The goal is to see if this approach helps improve mental health and cognitive function in patients facing critical illnesses.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves psychological support rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be emotional responses or discomfort related to discussing one’s condition and receiving reassurance.
