Abstract

The MULTICARE_COV-19 prospective experimental single-center study was expected to demonstrate whether remote access to a psychologist, in support of the physician in charge, could change the emotional impact of hospitalization both on caregivers, unable to take care of their family members, and on patients, by improving their perception of hospitalization and lessening their levels of anxiety, depression, and stress.
