Results of epidemiologic studies identifying family
needs and barriers to compassionate care for
family members have been used to improve the
effectiveness of information given to families and
to benefit communication between families and
physicians in the ICU
An Editorial Article from the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care
Medicine Vol 171. pp 803–805, 2005

The cornerstone of family- centered care is
early, effective, and intensive communication
with the patient’s relatives
An Editorial Article from the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care
Medicine Vol 171. pp 803–805, 2005

Information empowers family members by:
 Answering their needs, enabling them to
understand the patient’s situation
 Reducing anxiety and depression
 Putting the family members in a position to act as
surrogates
An Editorial Article from the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care
Medicine Vol 171. pp 803–805, 2005

Relatives of patients who died in the ICU were
left with a heavy burden of emotional
distress, indicating a pressing need for
improving caregivers’ response to specific
informational family needs at the end of life
An Editorial Article from the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care
Medicine Vol 171. pp 803–805, 2005

Family conferences are held when a shift is
needed from curative to palliative care, from
cure to comfort
An Editorial Article from the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care
Medicine Vol 171. pp 803–805, 2005

When providing care to dying patients and
their families, exercising compassion is not
enough: critical-care physicians and nurses
must sharpen their communication skills,
continuously evaluate their practices, identify
inadequacies and mistakes, and work toward
correcting them
An Editorial Article from the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care
Medicine Vol 171. pp 803–805, 2005

By teaching ourselves how to take full
advantage of all opportunities to provide
effective information and emotional support,
we will make the family end-of-life
conference a powerful, sensitive, and
enriching tool for addressing the specific
needs of each patient dying in the ICU and of
his or her family members.


Many health care institutions are committed
to patient- and family-centered care
 this does not usually translate into specific
support for family caregivers


In some cases, caregivers need the kind of
social and emotional assistance available
through support groups
Support groups enable caregivers to
 learn from the knowledge and experience of
others
 lessen their sense of isolation
 voice their concerns to others who truly
understand their situation

The most common support systems included
extended family members
 usually adult children relying on their siblings in
caring for an elderly parent
 adult children relying on their own adult children
for help with this care

Important not to confuse what caregivers
themselves are able to organize with the
desirability of a multipronged approach to
caregiver support organized by health care
institutions and home care service
organizations
