Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates a follow-up program designed to strengthen hope in patients who have been discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU). The intervention, known as the 'Hope Intervention,' involves digital individual and group conversations focusing on important topics related to hope, such as social relationships and future beliefs. Participants will be compared based on their levels of hope after completing the program versus those who have not yet participated. The study also aims to identify factors that may influence hope in these patients.
