Factors Affecting Anxiety and Depression Symptoms in Relatives of Intensive Care Unit Patients

Conclusion: Spouses and family members of relatively young patients had higher rates of anxiety and depression. In contrast to the literature, depression was more common than anxiety among the relatives of ICU patients. Further research is needed on the impact of cultural and regional differences on anxiety and depression rates in family members of ICU patients.
