Understanding the needs of families of hospital patients, especially those in intensive care units is key to providing comprehensive, effective support. The aim of this study is to determine the needs of families of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients in four Palestinian hospitals.
This was a cross-sectional, analytic study including 240 participants selected using convenience sampling. Data was obtained from participants from September 2016 to April 2018. The Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) was distributed to examine their needs. Descriptive analysis, -tests, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were conducted to analyze relationships between demographic characteristics of respondents and their needs. Differences were considered significant at < 0.05.
The results revealed that the assurance domain was the most important, but participants had some unmet needs from the support domain. Parents reported higher levels of importance of all needs than other types of relatives of patients. In addition, participants with a higher level of education reported a significantly higher level of importance in the dimensions of assurance (F= 2.85, = 0.038), proximity (F= 4.36, = 0.006), and support (F= 4.13, = 0.007). Also, married participants had a higher need for all dimensions. Family members of patients who stayed more than 7 days had higher needs for support (F= 3.39, = 0.035) and comfort (F= 3.92, = 0.021).
Family members of ICU patients have certain unmet needs, which require attention from healthcare professionals and administration in Palestinian hospitals. In addition, sociodemographic variables influence family member needs.
了解医院患者家属的需求，尤其是重症监护病房患者家属的需求，是提供全面、有效支持的关键。本研究的目的是确定巴勒斯坦四家医院中重症监护病房（ICU）患者家属的需求。
这是一项横断面分析研究，包括通过便利抽样选取的240名参与者。数据于2016年9月至2018年4月从参与者处获得。发放重症监护家庭需求问卷（CCFNI）以调查他们的需求。进行描述性分析、t检验和方差分析（ANOVA），以分析受访者的人口统计学特征与其需求之间的关系。差异在P<0.05时被认为具有统计学意义。
结果显示，保障领域是最重要的，但参与者在支持领域存在一些未满足的需求。患者的父母报告所有需求的重要性水平均高于其他类型的亲属。此外，受教育程度较高的参与者在保障（F=2.85，P=0.038）、亲近（F=4.36，P=0.006）和支持（F=4.13，P=0.007）维度上报告的重要性水平显著更高。此外，已婚参与者在所有维度上的需求更高。住院超过7天的患者家属对支持（F=3.39，P=0.035）和舒适（F=3.92，P=0.021）的需求更高。
ICU患者家属存在一定的未满足需求，这需要巴勒斯坦医院的医护人员和管理层予以关注。此外，社会人口统计学变量会影响家属的需求。
