Brief Summary:
Relatives of patients in situation of withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining therapies often show post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (60%)\[1\]. This number is even greater when family members are active in this decision (81%) or when communication is not optimal between medical team and family members.
There are several ways to assist families of patients in intensive care units \[2\], amongst them the use of a written document to explain the environment, therapies and possible outcomes.
Here the investigators want to test the impact of a written document in the context of end-of-life conference in intensive care units. Specifically, this research addresses wether such written support could decrease 3-months post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression exhibited by the closest family member or the patient representative.
