Study of Behavioral Health Collaborative Care Model to Support Recovery After ICU Stay at MUSC

What this Trial Is About

Survivors of critical illness often face mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD. Researchers are evaluating a behavioral health Collaborative Care Model BH CoCM compared to usual care for patients recovering in an ICU Recovery Clinic. This randomized controlled trial aims to study these mental health outcomes over six months at a single site. Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving BH CoCM or an attention control group receiving usual care. The intervention group uses the NeuroFlow digital platform for six months, which supports behavioral health care. They receive behavioral health coaching and psychiatric support as needed, while both groups undergo assessments for anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. During the study, participants will complete regular assessments to monitor mental health symptoms. Investigators will track changes in depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress over six months, as well as adherence to the intervention and usage of NeuroFlow content. Surveys will also be conducted to gather participant feedback on the intervention and explore potential improvements. The total participation duration is six months from enrollment.
