Peer-delivered motivational interviewing intervention for post-intensive care syndrome: A pilot of peer mentor training feasibility (original) (raw)

Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) presents significant challenges to survivors, impacting their psychological well-being and daily functioning. This paper explores the feasibility of a peer-delivered motivational interviewing (MI) intervention tailored to ICU survivors, assessing the effectiveness of a training program for peer mentors. The study involved a one-arm longitudinal design aimed at implementing support structures for new ICU survivors through trained peer mentors. Results indicate high retention, engagement, and potential benefits of peer support in addressing the complexities of PICS, thereby laying groundwork for future intervention studies focused on enhancing self-management for ICU survivors.
