Background Relatives- an important recourse ( Friedman et al,2003; Mitchell et al,2009; Engström et al,2007). Relatives of intensive care patients often suffer from long lasting consequences like anxiety and depression after returning home - Strong impressions (Azoulay et al,2005) - Emotional reactions (Baumhover & may,2013; Anderson et al,2008, Choi et al,2016; Fumis et al,2014) - Care burdens (Desai & Needham,2011; Choi et al,2014).

Result from the quantitative study Post-ICU follow-up: Mostly re-visits to the ICU with the patient and telephone calls from the ICU after the death of a patient. Relatives of non-survivors experienced significantly more follow-up than relatives of survivors. 17 % reported follow-up needs after the ICU stay. Women, and relatives of patients with longer ICU stays, were more likely to report needs for follow-up after the ICU stay. Cooperation between the hospitals and the community health services related to the follow-up needs of relatives seems to be missing. Denne teksten redigeres i 'Topptekst og Bunntekst' 8
