ICU sedation, delirium & recovery
Surrogates may not accurately estimate resilience and spirituality in neurologically critically ill patients
Authors' conclusion
Surrogate evaluations lack systematic bias, but may not estimate resilience and spirituality reliably for neurologically critically ill patients.
Study context
- Population
- English/Spanish speaking neurologically critically ill patients and their surrogates in the Neurosciences ICU, March 2016 to 2018
- Participants
- 51 dyads
- Exposure
- Surrogate vs patient ratings of resilience and spirituality
- Outcome
- Agreement between patient and surrogate scores for resilience (CD-RISC-10), spiritual wellbeing (positive Brief R-COPE) and spiritual turmoil (negative Brief R-COPE)
Methodological detailsconvenience sample, patient-surrogate dyads
- Convenience sample
- Patient-surrogate dyads
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Agreement between patient and surrogate scores (resilience CD-RISC-10; spiritual wellbeing positive Brief R-COPE; spiritual turmoil negative Brief R-COPE)
- No correlation
- Spearman correlation, CD-RISC-10 0.17; P = 0.238
- Moderate, positive correlation
- Spearman correlation, positive Brief R-COPE 0.47; P < 0.001
- Moderate, positive correlation
- Spearman correlation, negative Brief R-COPE 0.33; P = 0.021
- Agreement between patient and surrogate scores (resilience CD-RISC-10; spiritual wellbeing positive Brief R-COPE; spiritual turmoil negative Brief R-COPE)
- mean difference, CD-RISC-10 −1.0 point
- Agreement between patient and surrogate scores (resilience CD-RISC-10; spiritual wellbeing positive Brief R-COPE; spiritual turmoil negative Brief R-COPE)
- mean difference, positive R-COPE - 0.14 point
- Agreement between patient and surrogate scores (resilience CD-RISC-10; spiritual wellbeing positive Brief R-COPE; spiritual turmoil negative Brief R-COPE)
- mean difference, negative R-COPE 0.02 point
