What this Trial Is About

The goal of this study is to investigate how the experiences of intensive care patients and their end-of-life wishes affect their willingness to accept intensive care treatment at different chances of survival. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What can ICU survivors' experiences of ICU treatment tell us about what it would be like to die whilst receiving ICU treatment? * How do ICU survivors' reflections about what it might be like to die on ICU relate to their own preferences for their end-of-life care? * What chance of survival would make ICU survivors willing to go through ICU treatment again, in light of the fact that the alternative chance is dying whilst experiencing ICU treatment? * How does the possibility of reduction in health-related quality of life and functional decline as a result of critical illness impact ICU survivors' willingness to accept ICU treatment again? Participating in this study will involve filling out a questionnaire and then taking part in an interview. Participants will be recruited through ICU review clinics and ICU steps groups. The study will last for two years and will be conducted at locations convenient to the participants or via zoom.
