Abstract

Background: While the needs of family members have previously been studied, the needs of families of trauma patients have received less attention.

Objective: This study aims to assess the needs of family members of trauma patients in the emergency department.

Methods: This cross-sectional survey study was conducted over 4 months (February-May 2022) with family members of trauma patients admitted to the emergency department of a state hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The validated Critical Care Family Needs Inventory - Emergency Department survey was administered face-to-face to a convenience sample of consenting family members.

Results: A total of 248 family members participated, representing 84 patients. The mean age of the participants was 33 (8.18) years, with a gender distribution of 50% women. On average, 76.5% of the family members' needs were met. The most important needs reported as mean (SD) were as follows: communication, 3.52 (0.68); participation in care, 3.52 (0.68); comfort, 3.36 (0.65); and support needs, 3.21 (0.72). These needs were met to varying degrees: communication 85%, participation in care 81.2%, comfort 75.4%, and support needs 65.2%.

Conclusion: The study findings indicate that the needs of family members of emergency department trauma patients are not fully met. Families report needing communication the most and comfort the least.

满足急诊科创伤患者家属的需求。

背景：以前曾对家庭成员的需求进行过研究，但对创伤患者家属的需求关注较少：本研究旨在评估急诊科创伤患者家属的需求：这项横断面调查研究历时 4 个月（2022 年 2 月至 5 月），对象是土耳其伊斯坦布尔一家国立医院急诊科收治的外伤患者家属。经过验证的《重症监护家庭需求清单--急诊科》调查表以面对面的方式对征得同意的家属进行了抽样调查：结果：共有 248 名家庭成员参与了调查，代表了 84 名患者。参与者的平均年龄为 33（8.18）岁，性别分布为女性占 50%。平均而言，76.5%的家庭成员需求得到了满足。最重要需求的平均值（标度）如下：沟通，3.52（0.68）；参与护理，3.52（0.68）；舒适，3.36（0.65）；以及支持需求，3.21（0.72）。这些需求在不同程度上得到了满足：沟通 85%，参与护理 81.2%，舒适 75.4%，支持需求 65.2%：研究结果表明，急诊科创伤患者家属的需求没有得到充分满足。研究结果表明，急诊科创伤患者家属的需求没有得到充分满足。
