No quantitative studies meeting the eligibility criteria were identified, representing a significant gap in literature. Patients employed problem-focused coping strategies (active sense-making, reality orientation, proactive avoidance of delirium triggers), emotion-focused strategies (social connection, distancing, self-control), and meaning-based strategies (positive reappraisal, identity restoration). Families directed coping efforts both at supporting the patient through emotional presence, active reorientation, cognitive stimulation, and collaboration with the healthcare team, and at managing their own distress through information-seeking, avoidance, and positive reappraisal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both ICU patients and their families actively employ a broad range of coping strategies in response to delirium, consistent with the transactional model of stress and coping. Family caregivers emerge as a primary coping resource for patients while simultaneously managing their own psychological burden. These findings suggest that coping strategies may directly influence the trajectory of delirium-related psychological distress, and provide an evidence base for developing patient- and family-centered, coping-informed psychosocial interventions in ICU delirium care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13054-026-06232-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,21]],"date-time":"2026-08-21T10:33:42Z","timestamp":1787308422000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Psychosocial coping with intensive care delirium: a mixed-methods systematic review of patient and family perspectives"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Eunkyeong","family":"Oh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriella","family":"Marx-Rosenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Schimb\u00f6ck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikolas","family":"Groth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Nydahl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00fcrgen","family":"Gallinat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"6232_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1007\/s11812-019-00093-1","volume":"14","author":"M Spies","year":"2019","unstructured":"Spies M, Frey R, Friedrich ME, et al.
