This study aims to evaluate in the Brazilian context, the impact of the implementation of a diary program on patient and family-centered outcomes after PICU discharge. The intervention investigated will be the use of hospital diaries for the critically ill child in a cross-over study, randomized by clusters in four PICUs of Rio de Janeiro. Family members of children aged 29 days to 12 years, admitted for more than 36 hours will be included and data collection will take place upon admission, at PICU discharge and 60 days after discharge from the PICU.
Family-centered outcomes assessed will be: satisfaction with care, anxiety and depression at discharge, incidence of anxiety, depression, PTSD, burden and quality of life in follow-up. Patient-centered outcomes will be assessed in children at discharge and follow-up - quality of life and incidence of new morbidities will be evaluated. The association of clinical, social and demographic variables with family- and patient-centered outcomes will be investigated on an exploratory basis. Burnout Syndrome in PICU health professionals will be assessed before and after the intervention as a proxy of intervention security for PICU staff.
More than one third of parents and patients admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) develop Anxiety, Depression and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), with consequent decrease in quality of life and great social impact, known as Pediatric and Family Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS and PICS-F). Strategies that minimize negative outcomes after discharge have been adopted, such as the use of hospital diaries to regularly record the impressions of family members and health professionals about the patient's evolution, hosting parents and encouraging their direct participation in care.
This study aims to evaluate in the Brazilian context, the impact of the implementation of a diary program on patient and family-centered outcomes after discharge. The intervention investigated will be the use of hospital diaries for the critically ill child in a cross-over study, randomized by clusters in four PICUs of Rio de Janeiro, totaling 200 family members in the intervention group and 200 controls. Family members of children aged 29 days to 12 years, admitted for more than 36 hours will be included and data collection will take place upon admission, at discharge and 60 days after discharge from the PICU. Family-centered outcomes assessed will be: satisfaction with care, anxiety and depression at discharge, incidence of anxiety, depression, PTSD, burden and quality of life in follow-up. Quality of life and incidence of new morbidities will be evaluated in children at discharge and follow-up, as well as Burnout Syndrome in the health team. The association of clinical, social and demographic variables with family- and patient-centered outcomes will be investigated on an exploratory basis.
With this study, we aim to contribute to a better knowledge about different family-centered outcomes in intensive care, allowing reduction of health problems and the development of policies that seek to alleviate suffering, to humanize intensive environments and encourage participation of family members in child care during hospitalization.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| PICU with diaries | Experimental | The main family member of a critically ill child will receive a diary upon PICU admission. Except for the diaries intervention, this group of patients will be submitted to usual PICU routine care. |
|
| PICU without diaries | No Intervention | This group of critically ill patients and family members will not receive diaries, but will also be submitted to usual PICU routine care. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hospital diaries | Behavioral | Diaries will be used by family members, PICU staff or even the patient himself. They will take daily notes expressing feelings and thoughts and describing events that might help chronologically to better understand the course of disease and PICU stay. Photographs and other important PICU memories may also be used in the diary. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of anxiety symptoms in family member from critically ill child. | Proportion of main family member positive for anxiety symptoms as measured by HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale from Zigmond and Snaith), a self-report standardized 14-item questionnaire covering an anxiety 7-question subscale and a depression 7-question subscale. Each subscale includes Likert-scaled questions ranging from 0 to 3. Presence of anxiety symptoms will be determined when 9 or more points on each subscale. | 45-60 days after PICU discharge |
| Incidence of depression symptoms in family member from critically ill child. | Proportion of main family member positive for depression symptoms as measured by HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale from Zigmond and Snaith), a self-report standardized 14-item questionnaire covering an anxiety 7-question subscale and a depression 7-question subscale. Each subscale includes Likert-scaled questions ranging from 0 to 3. Presence of depression symptoms will be determined when 9 or more points on each subscale. | 45-60 days after PICU discharge |
| Incidence of PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) in family member from critically ill child. | Proportion of main family member positive for PTSD as measured by PCL-5 (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-V - Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - V from Weathers et al), a self-report standardized 20-item questionnaire covering four dimensions of symptoms: intrusions, avoidance, negative alterations in cognitions and mood and alterations in arousal and reactivity. Each subscale includes Likert-scaled questions ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). Presence of PTSD symptoms when 33 or more total points or positivity in each DSM-V dimension. | 45-60 days after PICU discharge |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate family satisfaction with PICU care as measured by EMpowerment of PArents in THe Intensive Care 30 (EMPATHIC-30) questionnaire. | Quantify family satisfaction with PICU care as measured by EMPATHIC-30 (Latour et al), a self-report standardized 30-item questionnaire covering 5 domains: information, care and treatment, organization, parent participation and professional attitude. Each subscale includes Likert-scaled questions ranging from 1 (certainly no) to 6 (certainly yes). Higher scores, higher family satisfaction with care. |

This is a multicentric two-arm two-period crossover study: in the first phase each PICU will be randomized between intervention (PICU with diaries) and control (PICU without diaries), crossing over in the second phase after a washout period.

Since the intervention is the use of hospital diaries there will be masking in the outpatient follow-up data collection and posterior data analysis.
