Abstract

Background: Therapeutic healthcare professionals in the multiprofessional intensive care unit (ICU) team are important for early mobilization, dysphagia therapy, and psychosocial care of critically ill patients.

Objective: Despite the high relevance of therapeutic healthcare professions for care in ICUs, there are no recommendations on the specific staffing of therapists in ICUs.

Results: Considering the main areas of activity of the individual professional groups and based on productivity time, a requirements analysis for staffing ICUs of different care levels with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and psychologists was performed. For every 10 beds in the highest care level (LoC3), 1.28 full-time equivalent (FTE) physiotherapists, 0.91 FTE occupational therapists and speech therapists, and 0.80 FTE psychologists should be employed.

Conclusion: In order to implement multiprofessional patient treatment and support for relatives in the ICU, it is essential to employ a proportionate number of therapeutic healthcare professionals.

背景：重症监护病房（ICU）多专业团队中的治疗保健专业人员对于重症患者的早期动员、吞咽困难治疗和社会心理护理非常重要：尽管治疗保健专业与重症监护室的护理工作密切相关，但目前还没有关于重症监护室治疗师具体人员配备的建议：考虑到各个专业组的主要活动领域，并以生产时间为基础，对不同护理级别的重症监护病房配备物理治疗师、职业治疗师、语言治疗师和心理学家的要求进行了分析。在最高护理级别（LoC3）中，每 10 张病床应配备 1.28 名全职物理治疗师、0.91 名全职职业治疗师和言语治疗师以及 0.80 名全职心理学家：为了对重症监护病房的患者实施多专业治疗并为其亲属提供支持，必须聘用相应数量的治疗保健专业人员。
