Abstract
Intensive care (ICU) diaries are on the increase in UK hospitals as a therapeutic means to address any psychological impact on the ICU patient. The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommend the development of services to address the psychological needs of patients following critical illness. This article discuss ICU diaries as a service that would aim to meet these needs. There is a greater demand for evidence-based research to support the positive effects of the diaries. Equally, there is a necessity to highlight the negative impact on those patients that oppose their diaries due to traumatic bearing of their critical illness. To gain an insight into the use of patient diaries, an audit was conducted in a single ICU. The article provides an overview of the available literature. Recommendations are made to enhance the use of ICU diaries for clinical practice in the future.
