Abstract

Patients participating in medical rehabilitation often come from an intensive care unit (ICU) environment and are recovering from critical illnesses or traumatic injuries. During ICU hospitalization patients can experience difficulties including lost autonomy, fear/anxiety, depressive symptoms, confusion/delirium, sleep/wake cycle dysregulation, or pain. These issues not only affect ICU and acute care hospitalization, but also can affect the rehabilitation process and recovery.
