Abstract

Introduction: The admission of a loved one to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a stressful experience for the family. In this situation, the needs of family members are often overlooked by nurses focusing on the immediate needs of critically ill patients. Family-centered care provided by the nurses can be measured through the family members’ cognitive and emotional perception of the support provided by the nurses. Objective: To determine the families’ perception of the support given by ICU nurses in the Teaching Hospital, Karapitiya, Sri Lanka. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 104 family members of patients who were treated in eight ICUs in the Teaching Hospital, Karapitiya using a consecutive sampling method. A self-administered questionnaire consisting of demographic information and Ice land-family perceived support scale (ICE-FPSQ) was used to collect data. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages through SPSS Version 25. Mean scores were calculated for the cognitive and emotional support subscales. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Review Committee of KIU (KIU/ERC/21/194). Results: The mean age of the participants was 38±7 years. Most of the participants were Sinhalese (92.3%, n=96) and 35-54 years (61.5%, n=64). Nearly, 34% (n=35) of the participants were spouses of the patients. The mean value of the overall support score (ICE-FPSQ) was 59.67±12.60 in dicating good support from ICU nurses. The mean value of cognitive perception was 21.27±7.30, in the subscale with a maximum value of 25. The mean value of emotional perception was 38.40±9.60, in the subscale with a maximum value of 45. Conclusion: Families’ perception of the support from ICU nurses was relatively high as indicated by the mean values of the cognitive and emotional subscales. Although the ICUs are overstretched with work, nurses must interact with families to offer the necessary support for both patients and family members, which enables them to manage the situation effectively.
斯里兰卡卡拉皮蒂亚教学医院重症监护室护士对家属支持的看法
简介亲人被送入重症监护室(ICU)对家属来说是一种压力。在这种情况下,护士往往只关注危重病人的即时需求,而忽视了家属的需求。护士提供的以家庭为中心的护理可以通过家属对护士提供的支持的认知和情感感受来衡量:确定家属对斯里兰卡卡拉皮蒂亚教学医院重症监护室护士所提供支持的看法:采用连续抽样法,对在卡拉皮蒂亚教学医院 8 个重症监护室接受治疗的 104 名患者家属进行了描述性横断面研究。研究采用自制问卷收集数据,问卷包括人口统计学信息和冰地家庭感知支持量表(ICE-FPSQ)。通过 SPSS 25 版使用频率和百分比等描述性统计方法对数据进行分析。计算认知和情感支持子量表的平均分。研究获得了韩国国际大学伦理审查委员会的伦理批准(KIU/ERC/21/194):参与者的平均年龄为 38±7 岁。大多数参与者为僧伽罗人(92.3%,n=96),年龄在 35-54 岁之间(61.5%,n=64)。总体支持评分(ICE-FPSQ)的平均值为(59.67±12.60)分,表明 ICU 护士提供了良好的支持。认知感知的平均值为(21.27±7.30)分,最大值为 25。情感感知的平均值为(38.40±9.60)分量表,最大值为(45.00±9.60)分量表:从认知分量表和情感分量表的平均值来看,家属对 ICU 护士支持的感知相对较高。虽然重症监护室的工作负荷过重,但护士必须与家属互动,为患者和家属提供必要的支持,从而使他们能够有效地处理情况。
