Family members of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) may experience stress, disorganization, and helplessness which may ultimately result in difficulty in mobilizing appropriate coping resources, thus leading to anxiety. The needs of family members are varied, and critical care nurses must become attuned to these needs and acquire the skills to direct their interventions more appropriately. This article presents the findings from a study that assessed the perceived level of importance of the needs of family members during the first 18 to 24 hours after admission to the ICU using the Critical care Family Needs Inventory. The study identified which needs were perceived as being met or unmet by the family members using the Needs Met Inventory after 36 to 48 hours had elapsed.
重症监护病房（ICU）患者的家属可能会经历压力、混乱和无助，这最终可能导致难以调动适当的应对资源，从而引发焦虑。家属的需求各不相同，重症护理护士必须了解这些需求，并掌握更恰当地指导干预措施的技能。本文介绍了一项研究的结果，该研究使用《重症监护家属需求量表》评估了患者入住ICU后最初18至24小时内家属需求的重要性感知水平。该研究使用《需求满足量表》确定了家属在36至48小时后认为哪些需求得到了满足或未得到满足。
