Family needs research has for the most part focused on the families' perceptions when a significant other is admitted to the intensive care unit. We examined critical care nurse perceptions of family needs. The questionnaire "Needs of Families of Critically Ill Patients" was given to 126 intensive care unit nurses. The tool was an adaptation of Molter's questionnaire "Needs of Relatives of Critically Ill Patients." The revised tool examined nurse perception of family needs, perception of time available to meet the needs in daily practice, and the best professional to meet the family need if the need was identified as best met by someone other than the nurse. The majority of the nurses perceived family needs as important or very important, and 85% of the nurses indicated that they were able to meet family needs and had the time to do so. Cognitive family were ranked higher than psychologic or personal and physical needs. Nurses from the four intensive care units ranked family needs significantly differently, a result that may be influenced by differing patient acuity and patient length of stay on individual units. Nurses' perceptions of family needs were influenced by units worked, length of time practicing in critical care, educational preparation, and length of time in nursing.
家庭需求研究在很大程度上聚焦于当重要他人入住重症监护病房时家庭的认知。我们考察了重症护理护士对家庭需求的认知。向126名重症监护病房护士发放了“重症患者家庭需求”调查问卷。该工具是对莫尔特的“重症患者亲属需求”调查问卷的改编。修订后的工具考察了护士对家庭需求的认知、对日常实践中满足这些需求可用时间的认知，以及如果确定需求最好由护士以外的其他人满足时，满足家庭需求的最佳专业人员。大多数护士认为家庭需求很重要或非常重要，85%的护士表示他们能够满足家庭需求且有时间这样做。认知方面的家庭需求比心理、个人及身体需求的排名更高。来自四个重症监护病房的护士对家庭需求的排名存在显著差异，这一结果可能受到各病房不同的患者病情严重程度和患者住院时间的影响。护士对家庭需求的认知受到工作的病房、重症护理实践时间、教育背景以及护理工作时长的影响。
