The aim of this study was to explore participation and support as experienced by close relatives of patients at an intensive care unit (ICU).
This study used the phenomenological approach as developed by Dahlberg et al. (2008) as a method for reflective lifeworld research. Seven close relatives of critically ill patients cared for at an ICU were interviewed. The data were analysed with a focus on meanings.
Being allowed to participate in the care of critically ill patients at an ICU is important for close relatives to the patients. Their experiences can be described as having four constituents: participation in the care of and being close to the patient; confidence in the care the patient receives; support needed for involvement in caregiving; and vulnerability.
Participation with and support from health-care professionals are important for the relatives' well-being and their ability to contribute to the patients' care. Health-care professionals, especially critical care nurses, need to create an atmosphere that invites relatives to participate in the care provided at an ICU.
本研究旨在探讨重症监护病房（ICU）患者家属的参与和支持体验。
本研究采用了 Dahlberg 等人（2008 年）提出的现象学方法，作为反思生活世界研究的一种方法。对 7 名 ICU 重症患者的家属进行了访谈。重点分析了数据的含义。
患者家属在 ICU 参与照顾重症患者对他们来说非常重要。他们的经历可以描述为具有四个组成部分：参与和接近患者的护理；对患者接受的护理的信心；参与护理所需的支持；以及脆弱性。
医疗保健专业人员的参与和支持对家属的幸福和他们为患者护理做出贡献的能力至关重要。医疗保健专业人员，特别是重症监护护士，需要营造一种氛围，邀请家属参与 ICU 提供的护理。
