Evaluation of a Tablet-Based Emotion Regulation Intervention for Surrogate Decision-Makers of Patients With Critical Illness: Pilot Nonrandomized Trial
Overview
This pilot trial evaluates REFRAME, a tablet-based app using cognitive reappraisal to help surrogate decision-makers manage emotional distress in ICU settings. The study assessed the intervention's feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects on anxiety and depression among 48 participants. Results indicated high user satisfaction and greater reductions in depressive symptoms for those using the app compared to usual care alone.
