Scrivere per curare: un’esperienza di adozione del Diario del paziente in Terapia intensiva

This research focuses beyond the doors of an open ICU: a hospital ward with a high degree of complexity and organizational innovation in which the most recent events in the health emergency from COVID-19 pose new difficulties and unprecedented challenges. First of all, the scope of application of the Patient Diary tool is defined starting from the reference literature up to its introduction in the Neuroreanimation department of the AOUC, Florence (Italy). The Di.Te. project’s main numbers and the qualitative study’s main themes are presented. Finally, a summary reflection on the patient’s diary is proposed as a channel for dialogue between all the interacting actors in the ward and as a tool for co-constructing the treatment path.
