This research aims to describe the perspectives of health care professionals, patients, and family members regarding spiritual care options in intensive care units (ICUs). Participants were recruited consecutively from January to August 2019, during which time data collection was conducted. A total of 1211 Spanish-language questionnaires were collected from 41 ICUs in Spain and Latin America. Approximately 655 participants worked as ICU professionals (74.5% of these participants were women, and 47.5% were nurses). Additionally, 340 questionnaires were sent to patients' families, and patients completed 216 questionnaires; 59.7% of these participants were men, and their mean age was 59.4 years. Most (69.7%) of the critical care professionals considered this type of care to be a part of their profession, 50.1% did not feel competent to provide this type of care, and 83.4% felt that training in this area was necessary. Most families (71.7%) and patients (60.2%) felt that spiritual suffering occurred during their stay in the ICU. The results of this study suggest a perceived deficit in spiritual care in ICUs.
本研究旨在描述医疗保健专业人员、患者及其家属对重症监护病房（ICU）精神护理选择的看法。2019年1月至8月期间连续招募参与者，并在此期间进行数据收集。从西班牙和拉丁美洲的41个ICU收集了总共1211份西班牙语问卷。约655名参与者为ICU专业人员（其中74.5%为女性，47.5%为护士）。此外，向患者家属发放了340份问卷，患者完成了216份问卷；这些参与者中59.7%为男性，平均年龄为59.4岁。大多数（69.7%）重症监护专业人员认为这种护理是其职业的一部分，50.1%的人认为自己没有能力提供这种护理，83.4%的人认为有必要进行该领域的培训。大多数家属（71.7%）和患者（60.2%）认为在ICU住院期间出现了精神痛苦。本研究结果表明，ICU的精神护理存在明显不足。
