Abstract

Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) reported having trauma that is commonly linked to the ICU
environment. Using a psychosocial approach in the ICU helps to reduce ICU trauma. Aim: To
determine the relationship between psychosocial care and ICU trauma among patients underwent
open-heart surgery. Design: Descriptive cross-sectional research design was followed in the current
study. Methods: The study subjects consisted of 130 patients who underwent open-heart surgery.
The study was conducted at a Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit and a vascular surgery center.
Tools of data collection included tool I: Health profile assessment tool which included two parts,
patients' socio-demographic interview schedule, and patients’ health-relevant data, tool II: ICU
psychosocial care scale, and tool III: ICU trauma scale. Results: 76.2% of the studied patients had
higher levels of ICU trauma and 23.8% had lower levels of ICU trauma. Also, the mean ± SD of the
total psychosocial care was 49.03 ± 9.21. Conclusion: There is a negative statistically significant
relationship between psychosocial care variables and ICU trauma.
