Brief Summary

The PICU-Diary study is a prospective single centre pilot study in the Pediatric Critical Care Unit at McMaster Children's Hospital. We will evaluate the impressions of family caregivers and healthcare providers on the PICU Patient Diary, and its acceptability for use in the PICU, using mixed methods. We will assess the feasibility of assessing the impact of a patient diary on PICU outcomes and psychological distress in critically ill children, 1 month following PICU discharge.
