The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived needs and anxiety levels of adult family members of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The study was conducted over a 3-month period, on a convenience sample of 166 subjects selected from the total adult population of family members visiting an ICU patient in three Sudbury hospitals. Data were gathered using a self-report questionnaire, the Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) and Spielberger's State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Interviews were conducted in French or English according to the subject's preference. The major variables examined were: family needs; state and trait anxiety; on-site sources of worry; spiritual needs; level of knowledge of ICU from past experience or pre-surgery education; sociodemographic data. The Situational Anxiety Scale yielded a mean score of 45.24 and the Trait Anxiety Scale a mean score of 37.3. Inferential statistics demonstrated that family needs and situational anxiety were significantly related (P less than 0.0002). Furthermore, worries, trait anxiety, age and family needs explained 38% of the variation of situational anxiety. As well, spiritual needs and situational anxiety explained 33% of the variation of family needs.
本研究的目的是探讨重症监护病房（ICU）患者成年家庭成员的感知需求和焦虑水平。该研究为期3个月，从萨德伯里三家医院看望ICU患者的成年家庭成员总体中选取了166名对象作为便利样本。数据通过自填式问卷、重症监护家庭需求量表（CCFNI）和斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）收集。访谈根据对象的偏好用法语或英语进行。所考察的主要变量包括：家庭需求；状态和特质焦虑；现场担忧源；精神需求；过去经历或术前教育对ICU的了解程度；社会人口统计学数据。情境焦虑量表的平均分为45.24，特质焦虑量表的平均分为37.3。推断统计表明，家庭需求与情境焦虑显著相关（P＜0.0002）。此外，担忧、特质焦虑、年龄和家庭需求解释了情境焦虑变异的38%。同样，精神需求和情境焦虑解释了家庭需求变异的33%。
