The current COVID-19 health contingency has generated physical affectations at the respiratory, emotional and mental levels due to changes in habits; which is why the "living a new opportunity" program is created for COVID-19 patients who have left the intensive care unit (ICU). Various studies mention that in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) the survival rate is 72.3% Hernández et al (2018), 50% of patients have the post-ICU syndrome affected their quality of life, 30% will not be able to resume their usual work and 25% will require help for their basic activities Amaranta (2020); authors such as Delgado et al (2017) report sequelae in patients of a physical, cognitive and psychic type, in addition, Duran et al (2011) mentions that care should be approached in a biopsychosocial way. The program "Living a New Opportunity" aims to propose a model of intervention to patients after leaving the ICU through psychoeducational strategies that promote the process of comprehensive rehabilitation addressing three thematic axes, the patient, the process of humanization of the service and the support network; this is divided into diagnosis, intervention and evaluation phase.
