[Psychologic regression in patients treated in an intesnsive care unit (author's transl)].
Regression occurs frequently in patients in Resuscitation Units. It is a desirable phenomenon so far as it leads to better acceptance of the treatment by patients, yet it can be harmful since it may lengthen the course of illness. Thirty patients were studied via a questionaire centered around six main points. The results and their correlation with the degree of regression are reported. Regression leading to a worsening of the course of illness, may have its origin in the patient himself or in the treatment team. Training of the latter would mainly aim to establish a treatment team - patient relationship fostering autonomy as early as possible.
