Past studies have examined how nurses can meet the needs of the critically ill patients and their families and the effects of their relatives' critical illness on the families themselves. However, there is a paucity of research studies in the literature conducted on the triad of nurses, patients, and family members looking at the experience of critical illness and their perspective of each from the other. This qualitative phenomenological study was able to elucidate the experiential descriptions, essential relationships, and meaning of structures of the intensive care unit experiences of the 15 participants during critical illness, and strategies to improve nursing practice, research, and education are presented.
过去的研究探讨了护士如何满足重症患者及其家属的需求，以及亲属患重病对家庭自身的影响。然而，文献中针对护士、患者和家庭成员这三者，研究重症经历以及他们彼此之间看法的研究却很少。这项质性现象学研究能够阐明15名参与者在重症期间重症监护病房经历的体验描述、基本关系和结构意义，并提出了改善护理实践、研究和教育的策略。
