Abstract
Objectives: To explore and compare patient/carer
experiences of rehabilitation in the intervention and
usual care arms of the RECOVER trial
(ISRCTN09412438); a randomised controlled trial of a
complex intervention of post-intensive care unit (ICU)
acute hospital-based rehabilitation following critical
illness.
Design: Mixed methods process evaluation including
comparison of patients' and carers' experience of usual
care versus the complex intervention. We integrated
and compared quantitative data from a patient
experience questionnaire (PEQ) with qualitative data
from focus groups with patients and carers.
Setting: Two university-affiliated hospitals in Scotland.
