Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Patients and patients' families are in crisis when the patient is in the Intensive Care Unit. There have been studies demonstrating the importance of recognizing patient and family needs, and meeting those needs. This study explored what needs families rank as important and if the nurse met their needs, and what effect nurse empathy had on meeting family needs. Methods: Families in the Intensive Care Unit were given questionnaires to complete that addressed which needs they felt were important, if their needs were met, and the level of empathy they gauged their nurse to have. The tools utilized in this study included the Critical Care Family Needs Intervention (CCFNI), the Needs Met Inventory (NMI), and the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory. Results: A total of fifteen families participated in this study. There was no correlation between the empathy of the nurse and their ability to meet family needs. There was a negative correlation between the CCFNI, and the NMI. Conclusions: This study validated the need for assurance as one of the most important family needs. More studies should be performed to see the effect, if any, empathy has on the nurse's ability to identify and care for a family's needs.

Download or read book Family Needs and Involvement in the Intensive Care Unit in Saudi Arabia written by Abbas Al Mutair and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AimThe aim of this study was to identify the perceived needs of Saudi families with acritically ill family member admitted to the Intensive Care Unit as perceived byfamily members and healthcare providers. The study explains how family needs werebeing met and who were the most appropriate healthcare providers to meet theirneeds. The study also compares the families' perceptions of their needs being met tothose of healthcare providers'. It also describes the healthcare providers' attitudestowards family involvement during routine care and family presence during resuscitation,or other invasive procedures.BackgroundAdmission of a family member to an intensive care unit often occurs without anywarning, leaving the family in a very stressful situation. Families of intensive carepatients have specific needs that should be acknowledged and met during this time. Ifunmet, the stress for the patients' families may be increased and also produce stressfor the healthcare providers. Further, the literature is virtually silent on the issue ofrecognizing the ICU family needs of Saudi or Muslim families in relation to religiousbeliefs and cultural values in intensive care settings. Knowledge about healthprofessional's attitudes towards family involvement during routine care and familypresence during resuscitation or other invasive procedures can inform intensive carepractice for holistic family centred care.DesignA mixed method two phase sequential explanatory design was utilised for the study.In Phase One, a convenience sample of 644 participants (167 family members and477 healthcare providers) was recruited and a closed-ended questionnaire wasadministered. Participants were invited from ICUs located in eight hospitals in sixmajor cities in Saudi Arabia. Phase Two involved face-to-face semi-structuredinterviews with 12 close family members at the same participating hospitals.ResultsFamily members and ICU healthcare providers perceived assurance, information andcultural and spiritual needs as the most important needs, and proximity and supportneeds as least important. The findings indicated that family members considered theirneeds of assurance as being met but their needs for support as not being met.Moreover, they considered needs related to information, proximity and cultural andspiritual needs as not always met. Despite this, the healthcare providers identified allthe families' needs as being successfully met. Family members recognized doctors asthe most appropriate person to meet most of their needs, followed by nurses, thenhospital administration. Healthcare providers perceived doctors as the mostappropriate person to meet most of the family needs, followed by the hospitaladministration and then nurses. The healthcare providers had positive attitudestowards family involvement during routine care, but negative attitudes towards familypresence during resuscitation or other invasive procedures.A deeper understanding of Saudi family needs was obtained through the qualitativeresults. Family members described their experiences of having a critically ill relative in the ICU. The analysis of the interview transcripts revealed six explicit themes.These themes were: 1) looking for information; 2) maintaining reassurance; 3)spiritual healing; 4) maintaining close proximity; 5) involvement in the care and 6)support not being facilitated.ConclusionThis study builds upon previous work and contributes important new nursingknowledge about the needs of Saudi families with a relative in the ICU. In SaudiArabia, it is recommended that ICU nurses be prepared to recognize family needs, andsupport and facilitate family involvement and caregiving. An emphasis should beplaced on the recognition of family needs in relation to the influence of cultural valuesand religion. In the 21st century, models of nursing care should not just focus on thepatients' needs but should also be focused on of the needs of the families.
