Six electronic databases were searched to identify relevant studies. Studies that met inclusion criteria were appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) and then analysed using thematic analysis to identify key themes across all articles. The PRISMA checklist was used to evaluate the current research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifteen studies were included in the review. Following thematic analysis, two primary themes emerged: (1) Emotional and psychological burden, including anxiety, flashbacks, vivid hallucinations, and chronic sleep disturbances, and (2) Memories of care and connection, emphasising the role of healthcare professionals and social support in recovery. Patients reported feelings of shame, guilt and embarrassment related to delirium\u2010associated memories, particularly their interactions with staff and loved ones. The attitudes and communication styles of healthcare professionals significantly influenced participants' outcomes, with supportive and empathetic care alleviating distress. Family, friends and fellow patients played a crucial role in reassuring participants and reducing feelings of isolation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Effective post\u2010discharge strategies are essential to support patients' long\u2010term recovery and minimise the lasting impact of delirium. Future research should focus on developing interventions to support patients during the post\u2010discharge phase of their delirium.<\/jats:p>\n
