Sensation Awareness Focused Training (SĀF-T) intervention during the ICU stay is feasible, acceptable, and may improve family caregivers’ post-ICU outcomes. Larger clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of SĀF-T in preventing PICS-F seem warranted.

Participants assigned to SĀF-T completed 1 session daily for 3 days.
