Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To explore the risk factors for post-traumatic stress disorder（PTSD） in family members of ICU patients through a meta-analysis. Methods A search was conducted in the Cochrane Library，Embase，PubMed，Web of Science，CNKI，Wanfang，and VIP Database for cohort studies，case-control studies，and cross-sectional studies on the risk factors of PTSD in ICU patients’ family members from the inception of the databases to July 10，2024. Two researchers independently performed literature screening，quality assessment，and data extraction. The meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4 software. Results 13 studies were included，including 2746 family members of ICU patients. The meta-analysis results indicated that family member’s gender（OR=2.64），relationship to the patient（OR=1.30），history of prior psychological issues（OR=3.72），ICU length of stay（OR=1.07），educational level of the family member（OR=1.36），employment status of family members（OR=0.26） and level of social support（OR=0.81） were factors influencing PTSD in ICU patients’ family members. Conclusion PTSD in family members of ICU patients is predominantly influenced by non-modifiable or challenging-to-modify factors. It is therefore recommended that healthcare professionals identify high-risk groups at an early stage based on these factors and intervene promptly to prevent PTSD.
