Abstract
The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to describe the importance and satisfaction of the family needs perceived by patients’family members and nurses in RICU, respectively. Moreover, factors related to the perceived family needs are also discussed. Main source of parameters for analysis came from a medical center and a regional hospital both located in Taipei. “the Critical Care Family Needs Inventory” are developed to collect information from both sides in RICU separately. Eventually, 60 questionnaires from family members and 63 from nurses are used to analyze.
We use several indicators such as frequency, percent, mean and standard deviation to describe the data gathered, and both bivariate and multivariate methods are applied simultaneously. The major results of this study are as follow：(1) With regard to the importance of perceived need, there are two items out of the preceding ten diverse from both sides. But when divided into five categories, the distributions between two sides are similar in each category. (2) With regard to the satisfaction of perceived need, there are six items out of the preceding ten diverse from both sides. When divided into five categories, the distributions between two sides are opposite in each category. (3) Several factors are relevant to the importance of perceived need in family side, including the number of people living with patients、experience of visiting ICUs. Both factors above are also related to the degree of satisfaction, and household income is the third factor of this degree as well. (4) In nurses side, the working experience is the factor both related to the importance and satisfaction of perceived needs. The former refers to the aggregation of working experience, but the latter is more focus on the ICU working experience. According to the above findings, we believe that they would be contributive to the development of nursing professionals such as practice, education and further research as well.
