  • Practice of family-centred care in intensive care units before the COVID-19-pandemic: A cross-sectional analysis in German-speaking countries

    2022, Intensive and Critical Care Nursing
    Citation Excerpt :

    In 2007, a guideline for patient-centred care was published by the American College of Critical Care Medicine Task Force, focusing on the active participation of patients in their care (Davidson et al., 2007). This approach was extended to families in subsequent years (Davidson and Strathdee, 2019). Parallel changes can be observed since 1955 in paediatric care, when attention focused on the importance of parents' presence in enhancing the sensorimotor and emotional development of new-born children (Gómez-Cantarino et al., 2020; McAndrew et al., 2020).

  • Stakeholders’ perceptions of family-centred care in the intensive care unit: An associative group analysis

    2021, Intensive and Critical Care Nursing
    Citation Excerpt :

    An increased interest in FCC has resulted in a surge of research. Although it has been incorporated into various policies and guidelines, there is still no clear understanding of FCC (Davidson and Strathdee, 2019). In addition, nurses, HCP and family members seem to have conflicting opinions and beliefs, which also contribute to the practical challenges of implementing FCC particularly in the ICU (Hetland et al., 2018).

  • Family and health professional experience with a nurse-led family support intervention in ICU: A qualitative evaluation study

    2020, Intensive and Critical Care Nursing
    Citation Excerpt :

    However, research evaluating such models of family care in ICU has been scarce (Shelton et al., 2010; Torke et al., 2016; White et al., 2018; White et al., 2012). The evidence of these recommendations around complex family interventions (Davidson and Strathdee, 2019) warrant further substantiation. In particular, an in-depth understanding of both family members’ and health professionals’ experience with and acceptability of nurse-delivered, family support interventions is needed.

  • The experiences and needs of relatives of intensive care unit patients during the transition from the intensive care unit to a general ward: A qualitative study

    2020, Australian Critical Care
    Citation Excerpt :

    Family presence decreases family anxiety which might be an important factor in preventing symptoms of PICS-F. Davidson34 suggests in a recent editorial about PFCC that healthcare providers should proactively explore the relatives' needs and expectation. Nurses must be aware of the relatives' expectations and proactively ask relatives' needs.
