A comparative descriptive study was implemented to identify and compare the personal needs of family members of critically ill patients with and without acute brain injury. The study was, in part, a replication of Mathis's study which used Molter's Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) to identify differences in the degree of importance of the perceived personal needs between family members of critically ill patients with and without acute brain injury. Fourteen relatives of critically ill patients completed and mailed a questionnaire adapted from the CCFNI. Results indicated a difference in the degree of importance of the perceived personal needs between the family members of critically ill patients without acute brain injury and family members of critically ill patients with acute brain injury at the 0.001 level of significance (Chi square = 17.70, critical value = 16.27, df = 3). Similarities in the rank ordering of the need statements were found between the two groups in this study and in comparison to the groups in Mathis's study. Family members indicated that most needs were met (78.5%) and nurses and doctors were identified as meeting the majority of these needs (> 80%). Ongoing research is necessary to determine what the needs of the relatives are in order to most effectively use the energies of health care professionals in providing patient care.
开展了一项比较性描述性研究，以识别和比较有急性脑损伤与无急性脑损伤的重症患者家属的个人需求。该研究部分是对马西斯研究的复制，马西斯的研究使用莫尔特的重症监护家庭需求量表（CCFNI）来确定有急性脑损伤与无急性脑损伤的重症患者家属所感知到的个人需求在重要程度上的差异。14名重症患者的亲属填写并邮寄了一份根据CCFNI改编的问卷。结果表明，在0.001的显著性水平上，无急性脑损伤的重症患者家属与有急性脑损伤的重症患者家属所感知到的个人需求在重要程度上存在差异（卡方 = 17.70，临界值 = 16.27，自由度 = 3）。本研究中的两组之间以及与马西斯研究中的组相比，需求陈述的排序存在相似之处。家属表示大多数需求得到了满足（78.5%），护士和医生被认为满足了这些需求中的大部分（> 80%）。有必要进行持续研究，以确定亲属的需求是什么，以便最有效地利用医护人员的精力来提供患者护理。
