To date there have been no published qualitative studies looking solely at the experiences of nurses caring for the relatives of patients who are critically ill. This small-scale phenomenological study explores such experiences. Three intensive care units in North West England were included; the nine participants were D grade or above, with a minimum of three months' ICU experience. Each nurse attended a tape-recorded, unstructured interview to discuss caring for relatives. A thematic analysis of the nurses' comments was then performed. Although many of the nurses understood the benefits of performing the care-giver role to families, some nurses felt inadequately prepared. There were also issues about whether they felt supported by colleagues in undertaking this role.
迄今为止，尚未有仅关注护理重症患者亲属的护士经历的定性研究发表。这项小规模的现象学研究探讨了此类经历。研究纳入了英格兰西北部的三个重症监护病房；九名参与者为D级及以上，且至少有三个月的重症监护病房工作经验。每位护士都参加了一次录音的非结构化访谈，以讨论对亲属的护理。然后对护士的评论进行了主题分析。尽管许多护士理解为家属扮演护理者角色的益处，但一些护士觉得准备不足。在承担这一角色时，她们是否得到同事的支持也存在问题。
