This qualitative study aimed to characterize clinician documentation of family members with high levels of traumatic stress in the electronic health record (EHR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mechanically ventilated patients with surrogate decision makers reporting a Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms Scale score &gt;35 (consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder) were included. All electronic notes from patients\u2019 ICU stays were included. Thematic analysis used a structured codebook focused on surrogate behaviors, relationships, and coping strategies; resources provided to surrogates; and medical decision making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-five surrogates were largely female (n = 22, 88.0%) and had a median age of 48 years (interquartile range [IQR] 41-55 years) and median PTSS-10 score of 46 (IQR 38-53). Most of their critically ill loved ones (n = 17, 68%) survived the hospitalization. Three major themes emerged: (1) documentation of surrogate traumatic stress was inconsistent unless it disrupted clinical care; (2) surrogate-clinician conflict and goal misalignment intensified surrogate distress; and (3) multidisciplinary team members were crucial for providing emotional support and bridging communication.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings suggest the need for standardized approaches to identify and address surrogate traumatic stress in the ICU. Investment in multidisciplinary teams is also essential\u2014not only to ease surrogate distress but also to facilitate trust, communication, and collaborative decision-making. Investing in these resources and bringing awareness to how our documentation can perpetuate stigma are key steps toward reducing re-traumatization and advancing person-centered care in the ICU.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10499091251409329","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,11]],"date-time":"2025-12-11T18:00:16Z","timestamp":1765476016000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Documentation of Family Surrogate Traumatic Stress in the Intensive Care Unit: A Qualitative Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0945-7712","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brooke E.","family":"Schroeder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raquel","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julien","family":"Cobert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California San Francisco"},{"name":"San Francisco VA Health Care System"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deepshikha C.","family":"Ashana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University"},{"name":"Duke University"},{"name":"Duke University"},{"name":"Duke University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_9_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003246-200008000-00061"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2016.5351"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrc.2015.01.012"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1513\/AnnalsATS.202411-1157OC"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13054-022-04216-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chest.2020.05.535"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1513\/AnnalsATS.201909-700IP"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1445-5994.2010.02311.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0163-8343(97)00042-x"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-010-1620-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_9_12_2","unstructured":"SAMHSA\u2019s concept of trauma and guidance for a trauma-informed approach. 2014.
