Effective two-way patient-provider communication is challenging and is even more difficult when patients are communication vulnerable. The results of being unheard and unacknowledged can contribute to negative feelings and may manifest as symptoms of anxiety and depression. Researchers explored symptoms of anxiety and depression when using a team-developed, patient-centered, and nurse-led intervention called Speak for Myself-Voice (formerly published as Speak for Myself) in five intensive care units at a Magnet status, university-affiliated medical center in East Tennessee. This was an equivalent control group design. The data were analyzed with a mixed-effect analysis of variance (between and within groups) with repeated measures to see if the treatment group changed differently than the control group across time (48 hours). This study report adds information about anxiety and depression in patients who are communication vulnerable and using communication technology.
