Helping survivors of acute respiratory failure manage anxiety
Improving Psychological Outcomes for Acute Respiratory Failure Survivors using a Self-Management Intervention
This study is looking to help adults who have recovered from serious breathing problems feel less anxious by trying out a new self-help program, and it will start by talking to patients in the hospital to make sure the program meets their needs before testing it against regular care.

What this research studies
This research focuses on improving the psychological well-being of adults who have survived acute respiratory failure by implementing a self-management intervention aimed at reducing anxiety. The study will first gather insights from patients currently hospitalized to refine the intervention, followed by a pilot trial comparing the new approach to standard care. Patients will be assessed for the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, as well as its effectiveness in alleviating anxiety symptoms during and after their hospital stay.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who have experienced acute respiratory failure and are currently hospitalized.
Not a fit: Patients who are not experiencing anxiety or who are unable to participate in self-management interventions may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce anxiety symptoms in survivors of acute respiratory failure, leading to better overall recovery and quality of life.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that self-management interventions can effectively reduce anxiety in various patient populations, suggesting a promising approach for this group as well.
