Mobile Mindfulness App for ICU Survivors' Emotional Recovery
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a self-guided mindfulness app on your phone can help reduce anxiety, depression, and stress after you leave the hospital following a serious illness that required intensive care. You'll use the app at home after discharge, and researchers will check in to see if it helps you feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
