| dc.description.abstract | Background: An intensive care unit (ICU) is a dynamic, unpredictable environment where families experience either the slow and unsure process of recovery, or the inevitable passing of a loved one. As it supported by relevant literatures, there was dissimilarity between perceptions of nurses and family members and nurses misunderstood the needs of family members. Objective: This study aims to assess and compare perceptions of Nurses and families regarding most important psychosocial needs of families of critically ill patients in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital intensive care unit. Methods and materials: Institution based comparative cross sectional study design was conducted using a two-part questionnaire containing sociodemographic characteristics and the Critical Care Family Need Inventory (CCFNI). Freidman test was used to rank the need statements. Fisher’s exact test was employed to investigate the significant difference between the perceptions of nurses and families on most important need statements as well as need categories. Result: Family members ordered the need to “have good food available in the hospital” (mean = 3.94, SD = 0.23) and the need for comfort as their most important need statement and need category respectively. On the other hand, nurses ordered the need “to have questions answered honestly” (mean = 3.63, SD = 0.62) and need for assurance as family member’s most important need statement and need category respectively. Nurses and family members showed a statistically significant difference on 31 out of 45 family needs. Conclusion and recommendation: There was a significant difference between nurses and family members on their perception of most important psychosocial needs of family members. A training on family support for nurses was recommended. | en_US |
