A Research on Interaction Amongst Intensive Care Unit Health Care Professionals and Caregivers

Abstract

Aim: This study has been conducted to understand the communication among healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting and ICU patients’ families and also to learn thoughts and feelings of caregivers on these interactions.

Methods: Semi structured in debt interview and observation methods were used to gather data. Findings were analyzed by NVIVO7 computer supported qualitative research analysis program.

Findings:  It has been understood that caregivers feel desperation in general.  Factors such as not being able to with their loved ones, the idea of losing them and waiting period might increase their misery. It has been understood that, when they are communicated to decrease the negativity they go through, a proper language that caregivers can understand is not used and not enough time spent to inform them.

Conclusion: Healthcare institutions and HCPs should play an important role on a sustainable, healthy communication with caregivers.
