Children's Psychological Outcomes Following Critical Illness: How do We Measure the Impact of High Tech Care? - Janet E. Rennick, RN, MScN, PhD

We have witnessed tremendous developments in technologies and treatment regimes to treat critically ill children in the past few decades; yet there is mounting evidence to suggest these children can suffer significant psychological repercussions following Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) hospitalization.

This presentation focuses on what is known about children’s psychological outcomes following PICU hospitalization, and provides an overview of our research in developing child self-report measures to assess psychological distress in this population.
