Including Family in Patient Care in the Critical Care Setting: Ongoing Challenges
Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Traditionally, the intent of nursing and medical care has focused on the patient. While family-centered approaches have been extensively described in the literature in regards to meeting patient and family needs during critical illness, actual practice may not demonstrate acceptance of important elements of family care. This may be due to several factors: lack of a framework that addresses the interrelationship between the patient, family and healthcare team; inadequate knowledge of family systems theory and family resilience; and perceived time constraints surrounding family involvement.
