The purpose of this observational study is to understand how adults who survive acute respiratory failure (ARF) and the people (usually family) who support ARF survivors after returning home think about the first 6 months of recovery. The study aims to find out if expectations about the recovery process after ARF are associated with mental health symptoms in both survivors and the survivor's care partners. Study participants will complete 3 surveys over 6 months. These surveys ask questions about participants' future expectations, feelings, and mood. Surveys can be completed online, over the phone, or on paper.
