To gain an understanding of and increased knowledge about the effects of open visiting hours on patients, their family members, and nurses within the intensive care unit environment, the author reviewed 10 empirical studies. Much has been debated about the essentials needed to create a healing environment that best promotes harmony of the mind, body, and spirit for the critically ill patient. Research indicates an open visiting policy may improve the quality of care and satisfaction of patients, family members, and nurses in the intensive care unit. The studies reviewed show that although most critical care nurses find that open visiting hours may impede patient care, the benefits to patients and family outweigh any negative impact to the patient.
为了了解并增加对重症监护病房环境中开放探视时间对患者、其家属及护士的影响的认识，作者回顾了10项实证研究。关于营造能最佳促进重症患者身心和精神和谐的康复环境所需的要素，一直存在诸多争议。研究表明，开放探视政策可能会提高重症监护病房中患者、家属及护士的护理质量和满意度。所回顾的研究表明，尽管大多数重症护理护士认为开放探视时间可能会妨碍患者护理，但对患者及其家属的益处超过了对患者的任何负面影响。
