The Family

In admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU), there is a high possibility of a life-threatening condition and possible emotional distress for family members. When the family is distressed and hospitalized, a significant level of stress and anxiety will be generated among family members, thereby decreasing their ability to make responsible decisions. As a result, the family members need full and up-to-date details, helping them to retain hope, and this contributes to lower stress levels. While there is growing evidence of the effectiveness of shared decision-making for family members who are directly involved in decisions, particularly regarding shared decision-making in the Malaysian context, there is less evidence that supported decisions help overall outcome. This study aims to developing the family satisfaction with decision making in the Intensive Care Unit (FS-ICU)-33 Malay language version of family member’s satisfaction with care and decision making during their stay at the intensive care units. A quantitative, cross-sectional validation study and purposive sampling was conducted from 1st November 2017 and 10 October 2018 to January 2020 among 208 of family members.  The family members of the ICU patients involved in this study had an excellent satisfaction level with service care. Higher satisfaction in ICU care resulting in higher decision-making satisfaction and vice versa.

The Mean

BackgroundIn our competitive health care environment, measuring the experience of family members of patients in the intensive care unit to ensure that health care providers are meeting families’ needs is critical. Surveys from Press Ganey and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are unable to capture families’ satisfaction with care in this setting.ObjectiveTo implement a sustainable measure for family satisfaction in a 12-bed medical and surgical intensive care unit. To assess the feasibility of the selected tool for measuring family satisfaction and to make recommendations that are based on the results.MethodA descriptive survey design using the Family Satisfaction in the Intensive Care Unit 24-item questionnaire to measure satisfaction with care and decision-making.ResultsForty family members completed the survey. Overall, the mean score for families’ satisfaction with care was 72.24% (SD, 14.87%) and the mean score for families’ satisfaction with decision-making was 72.03% (SD, 16.61%). Families reported that nurses put them at ease and provided understandable explanations. Collaboration, inclusion of families in clinical discussions, and timely information regarding changes in the patient’s condition were the most common points brought up in free-text responses from family members. Written communication, including directions and expectations, would have improved the families’ experience.ConclusionAlthough patients’ family members reported being satisfied with their experience in the intensive care unit, there is room for improvement. Effective communication among the health care team, patients’ families, and patients will be targeted for quality improvement initiatives.

BackgroundA growing body of research has explored patient satisfaction as one of the healthcare quality measures. To date, scarce data are available regarding family experience in the trauma and surgical intensive care unit (TSICU). The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze the results of a family satisfaction survey in the TSICU.MethodsFamily members of patients at a level 1 trauma center were invited to participate in this study after 72 hours of intensive care unit stay. Participants completed a modified version of the Family Satisfaction in the Intensive Care Unit questionnaire, a validated survey measuring family satisfaction with care and decision-making. Data collection spanned from April 2016 to July 2017. Patient characteristics were compiled from the medical record. Quantitative analysis was performed using a 5-point Likert score, converted to a scale of 0 (poor) to 100 (excellent).ResultsThe overall response rate was 78.6%. Of the 103 family members for 88 patients, most were young (median age: 41 years) and female (75%). Language fluency was 44.6% English-only, 31.7% Spanish-only, and 23.8% bilingual. Mean summary family satisfaction scores (±SD) were 80.6±26.4 for satisfaction with care, 79.3±27.1 for satisfaction with decision-making, and 80.1±26.7 for total satisfaction. Respondents were less satisfied with the frequency of communication with physicians (70.7±27.4) and language translation (73.2±31.2).DiscussionOverall family satisfaction with the care provided to patients in the TSICU is high, although opportunities for improvement were noted in the frequency of communication between physicians and family and language translation services. Further quality improvement projects are warranted.Level of evidenceCare management study: level V.
