Objective To survey the current situation of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) among patients in respiratory intensive careunit (RICU), and explore the effect factors of PICS.Methods By convenience sampling, 125 patients in the RICU of Peking University First Hospital were recruited in the study. The patients were tested for PICS using Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM-ICU), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Medical Research Council (MRC), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Fatigue Scale-14 (FS-14), including three aspects of cognition, psychology and physiology. The effect factors of PICS were measured through researcher-created Questionnaire on Patients’ General Information and Questionnaire on Disease-Related Information.Results In this study, the actual effective sample size was 110 cases, among which 59 cases developed PICS, with an incidence of 53.6%. Logistic regression showed that effect factors of PICS were age, invasive mechanical ventilation time, noninvasive ventilator assisted ventilation time and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (P< 0.05).Conclusions The incidence of PICS in RICU patients is 53.6%, which is at a high level. Advanced age, long duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, long duration of non-invasive ventilator assisted ventilation, and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease are the risk factors of PICS. Medical and nursing staff should pay more attention to PICS, intervene in the risk factors of the patient, and take targeted measures to prevent the occurrence of PICS.
