This study used an exploratory design with a hermeneutic approach. The aim was to increase the understanding of the emotional responses of family members during the patient's critical care. Interviews from the main researcher's previous study about relatives of patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) were used. Two of these interviews were chosen, one with the mother and one with the father of an adult young patient, who became critically ill and admitted to a general ICU in south-west Sweden. The present study identified six feelings describing the emotional responses of the family members. The family members experienced feelings of uncertainty, feelings of abandonment, feelings of desertion from the loved one, feelings of being close to the deathbed, feelings of being in a no-man's-land and feelings of attachment. The experienced feelings described in this article can contribute to expanding healthcare professionals understanding of the family members' emotional responses during the patient's critical care.
本研究采用了带有诠释学方法的探索性设计。目的是增进对患者重症监护期间家庭成员情绪反应的理解。使用了主要研究者之前关于重症监护病房（ICU）患者亲属的研究中的访谈。从这些访谈中选取了两个，一个是与一名成年年轻患者的母亲进行的访谈，另一个是与该患者父亲进行的访谈，该患者病情危急，被收治到瑞典西南部的一家综合ICU。本研究确定了六种描述家庭成员情绪反应的感受。家庭成员经历了不确定感、被遗弃感、被爱人抛弃感、濒死感、置身无人之地感和依恋感。本文所描述的这些经历的感受有助于扩大医疗保健专业人员对患者重症监护期间家庭成员情绪反应的理解。
