Book excerpt: "This study examined the problem of lack of congruence between the perceived need of families of critically ill patients for psychosocial support and the psychosocial support critical care nurses perceived the family members to need. It was a Level II descriptive comparative study conducted during the winter of 1987. Subjects were volunteers and included 29 family members and 36 nurses. Family members were contacted by the researcher within seventy-two hours of the patient's admission to the intensive care, coronary care, or the neuro-surgical intensive care units. The nurse subjects were registered nurses working in the same three critical care areas. All subjects completed a modified form of Molter and Leske's Critical Care Family Needs Inventory. Descriptive measures used to examine data included frequency distributions and measures of central tendency. Two tailed t-tests for independent means were used to compare responses of family members and nurses. T-tests and one-way ANOVA were used to examine differences in nurse responses according to selected demographic variables. The study's findings revealed: 1) family members ranked informational needs the highest; 2) nurses ranked honesty and communication needs highest; 3) approximately 44% of the needs were ranked significantly differently when family and nurse samples were compared; 4) one need was ranked significantly differently according to the educational level of the nurse; 5) male nurses ranked 6 needs significantly lower than female nurses; 6) critical care experience affected the nurses' sensitivity and needs rankings; and 7) family members and nurses stated that it was the role of nurses to deal with visiting and bedside needs and physicians should answer questions about care. Implications for practice include: the need for an assessment tool to provide family feedback into the health care system; continuing education for critical care nurses to increase sensitivity and awareness; and improved family orientation to the health care system"--Document.

Download or read book Design for Critical Care written by D. Kirk Hamilton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now widely recognized that the physical environment has an impact on the physiology, psychology, and sociology of those who experience it. When designing a critical care unit, the demands on the architect or designer working together with the interdisciplinary team of clinicians are highly specialized. Good design can have a hugely positive impact in terms of the recovery of patients and their hospital experience as a whole. Good design can also contribute to productivity and quality of the work experience for the staff. 'Design for Critical Care' presents a thorough and insightful guide to the very best practice in intensive care design, focusing on design that has been successful and benefi cial to both hospital staff and hospital patients. By making the connection between research evidence and design practice, Hamilton and Shepley present an holistic approach that outlines the future for successful design for critical care settings.
