Visiting hours play an integral role in the intensive care unit (ICU) for both patients and health care providers. Family members offer support and comfort to patients during critical illnesses. Nurses, however, often view visiting hours as intrusive and time consuming. The issue of restricted versus open visiting hours continues in many ICUs, and the advantages and disadvantages of both types of visitation must be weighed before selecting the visiting hours appropriate for the institution.
探视时间在重症监护病房（ICU）中对患者和医护人员都起着不可或缺的作用。在患者患重病期间，家庭成员会给予他们支持和安慰。然而，护士们常常认为探视时间具有侵扰性且耗时。许多重症监护病房仍在纠结限制探视时间与开放探视时间的问题，在选择适合该机构的探视时间之前，必须权衡这两种探视方式的优缺点。
