Family Communication in the ICU
摘要
Effective communication with families in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a cornerstone of compassionate and patient-centered care. Families often experience significant stress due to the critical condition of their loved ones, making clear, empathetic communication crucial. The ICU team must provide timely information, ensure transparency, and support families emotionally while involving them in shared decision-making. Recognizing the challenges and implementing structured communication frameworks, diverse modalities, and tailored approaches can enhance the quality of interactions and alleviate family distress [1, 2] [Ref: Algorithm 106.1].
