Suh J, Na S, Jung S, Kim KH, Choo S, Choi J, Kim J. Family caregivers' responses to a visitation restriction policy at a Korean surgical intensive care unit before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Heart Lung 2023; 57:59-64. [PMID: 36058109 PMCID: PMC9399133 DOI: 10.1016/j.hrtlng.2022.08.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Since the COVID-19 pandemic, restricting family visits in the ICU has increased concerns regarding negative psychosocial consequences to patients and families. OBJECTIVES To compare the quality of life, depressive symptoms, and emotions in family caregivers of ICU patients before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to explore families' perceptions and suggestions for the visitation. METHODS A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted in 99 family caregivers of adult surgical ICU patients from an urban academic medical center in South Korea (February to July 2021). The WHO's Quality of Life-BREF, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression, and Visual Analogue Scale were used to assess quality of life, depressive symptoms, and emotions, respectively. The Family Perception Checklist was used to assess families' perceptions and suggestions about the visitation restriction. Results were compared with the data from our previous survey (n = 187) in 2017. RESULTS Family caregivers were mostly women (n = 59), adult children (n = 43) or spouse (n = 38) of patients with mean age of 47.34 years. Family caregivers surveyed during the pandemic reported worsening sadness (54.66 ± 28.93, 45.58 ± 29.44, P = 0.005) and anxiety (53.86 ± 30.07, 43.22 ± 29.02, P = 0.001) than those who were surveyed in. While majority of families were satisfied with the visitation restrictions (86.9%), only 50.5% were satisfied with the amount of information provided on the patient's condition. CONCLUSIONS Visitation restriction is necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic despite sadness and anxiety reported in caregivers. Hence, alternative visitation strategies are needed to mitigate psychological distress and provide sufficient information to ICU family caregivers.

Abstract
Intensive care units are hostile places, which must be conditioned to the needs of patients and families, and therefore the factors that influence their satisfaction must be known. OBJECTIVE To update the knowledge on the satisfaction of the patients admitted to an adult intensive care unit and that of their family caregivers as described in the scientific literature. METHODOLOGY A systematized literature review was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, Cinahl and WOS databases. SEARCH STRATEGY "Personal Satisfaction" and (patients or caregivers) and "Intensive Care Units". INCLUSION CRITERIA studies published between 2013-2018, population aged between 19-64 years, English and Spanish language. RESULTS 760 studies were located and 15 were selected. The factors that increased satisfaction are: good communication with professionals (n = 5), the quality of care (n = 4), and the cleanliness and environment of the units (n = 2). The factors that produced dissatisfaction are: the infrastructure of the waiting room (n = 5), inadequate communication (n = 4), and the involvement of families and patients in decision-making (n = 4). Training of professionals (n = 5), inclusion of the family during the process of hospitalization (n = 2) and redesigning the waiting room (n = 2) are some of the suggestions for improvement. CONCLUSIONS Factors related to professionals, environment and cleanliness of the units are satisfaction-generating factors. Factors generating dissatisfaction related to poor infrastructure, a lack of involvement in decision-making and poor professional communication. Strategies to improve patient and family satisfaction relate to the organization, professionals, family members, and infrastructure and environment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To systematically review and evaluate the effects of humanized care of the critically ill on empathy among healthcare professionals, anxiety among relatives, and burnout and compassion fatigue in both groups. SOURCE MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and ProQuest Dissertations were searched from inception to 29 June 2017 for studies that investigated the effects of interventions with potential to humanize care of the critically ill on the following outcomes: empathy among critical care professionals, anxiety among relatives, and burnout and compassion fatigue in either group. We defined a humanizing intervention as one with substantial potential to increase physical or emotional proximity to the patient. Two reviewers independently selected studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias and data quality. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Twelve studies addressing four discrete interventions (liberal visitation, diaries, family participation in basic care, and witnessed resuscitation) and one mixed intervention were included. Ten studies measured anxiety among 1,055 relatives. Two studies measured burnout in 288 critical care professionals. None addressed empathy or compassion fatigue. Eleven of the included studies had an overall high risk of bias. No pooled estimates of effect were calculated as a priori criteria for data synthesis were not met. CONCLUSIONS We found insufficient evidence to make any quantitative assessment of the effect of humanizing interventions on any of these psychologic outcomes. We observed a trend towards reduced anxiety among family members who participated in basic patient care, liberal visitation, and diary keeping. We found conflicting effects of liberal visitation on burnout among healthcare professionals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate the satisfaction of relatives of critical care patients with regard to the environment, relationship with professionals and visitation and compare it to the perception of professionals. METHODOLOGY A descriptive study in two phases. In the first phase validated telephone survey within 15 days of discharge to the relatives of the patients was performed. In the second phase, the same modified questionnaire was self-administered to the professionals. The same variables were studied in both populations. RESULTS We interviewed 78 family members and 44 professionals. 95% of professionals vs 67% of the families claimed not to know the name of the nurses (P < .001). Over 70% of professionals and families agreed that the visit protocol is correct and that the information was adequate income. 70% of professionals felt that the information received at admission is not understood by the family although 97% of households claimed to have understood themselves. Statistically significant differences were observed in relation to the location of the unit assessment, the waiting, the aspects of information and comfort, always being the professionals who felt greater dissatisfaction (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The perceptions of relatives and professionals were mostly uneven, making it necessary to continue exploring the differences through qualitative and participatory methodologies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the needs of the families of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the opinion of ICU professionals on aspects related to the presence of patient relatives in the unit. DESIGN A prospective descriptive study was carried out between March and June 2015. SETTING Polyvalent ICU of León University Healthcare Complex (Spain). PARTICIPANTS Two samples of volunteers were studied: one comprising the relatives emotionally closest to the primarily non-surgical patients admitted to the Unit for over 48hours, and the other composed of ICU professionals with over three months of experience in the ICU. INTERVENTION One self-administered questionnaire was delivered to each relative and another to each professional. MAIN VARIABLES OF INTEREST Sociodemographic data were collected. The variables in the questionnaire for relatives comprised the information received, closeness to the patient, safety of care, the support received, and comfort. In turn, the questionnaire for professionals addressed empathy and professional relationship with the family, visiting policy, and the effect of the family upon the patient. RESULTS A total of 59% of the relatives (35/61) answered the questionnaire. Of these subjects, 91.4% understood the information received, though 49.6% received no information on nursing care. A total of 82.9% agreed with the visiting policy applied (95.2% were patient offspring; P<.05). Participation on the part of the professionals in turn reached 76.3% (61/80). A total of 59.3% would flexibilize the visiting policy, and 78.3% considered that the family afforded emotional support for the patient, with no destabilizing effect. On the other hand, 62.3% routinely informed the family, and 88% considered training in communication skills to be needed. CONCLUSIONS Information was adequate, though insufficient in relation to nursing care. The professionals pointed to the need for training in communication skills.

Abstract
<p>La experiencia de estar hospitalizado en una unidad de cuidado intensivo genera ansiedad, angustia y estrés en la persona. Los pacientes con enfermedad coronaria requieren de cuidados especiales en este tipo de unidades, por lo que las percepciones, sentimientos y vivencias del paciente durante su estancia en la unidad se constituyen en elementos significativos de su experiencia. Objetivos: Conocer el significado de las experiencias vividas en una unidad de cuidado intensivo coronario de una clínica de Barranquilla. Metodología: Estudio cualitativo, descriptivo, con enfoque fenomenológico, en el que se entrevistaron nueve pacientes entre 59 y 74 años que estuvieron hospitalizados en una unidad de cuidado intensivo coronario con diagnóstico de infarto agudo de miocardio. Como estrategia de investigación, se utilizó el método de Colaizzi, siguiendo cada uno de los pasos sugeridos y guardando el rigor ético correspondiente. Resultados: Se identificaron cuatro categorías que reflejan de forma exhaustiva el fenómeno estudiado: 1) El primer contacto con la unidad 2) Lo malo de estar hospitalizado en la unidad 3) Confianza en Dios y 4) Pérdida de la percepción del tiempo. Conclusiones: Las vivencias expresadas por los participantes corroboran lo hallado en estudios similares, los cuales convergen al afirmar que el ingreso a la unidad de cuidado intensivo genera una serie de sentimientos negativos en la persona, que marcan de manera significativa su experiencia de vida. Pero también influyen aspectos positivos derivados de la atención humanizada del personal de enfermería.</p>

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the design and comfort in the Intensive Care Units (ICUs), by analysing visiting hours, information, and family participation in patient care. DESIGN Descriptive, multicentre study. SETTING Spanish ICUs. METHODS A questionnaire e-mailed to members of the Spanish Society of Intensive Care Medicine, Critical and Coronary Units (SEMICYUC), subscribers of the Electronic Journal Intensive Care Medicine, and disseminated through the blog Proyecto HU-CI. RESULTS A total of 135 questionnaires from 131 hospitals were analysed. Visiting hours: 3.8% open 24h, 9.8% open daytime, and 67.7% have 2 visits a day. Information: given only by the doctor in 75.2% of the cases, doctor and nurse together in 4.5%, with a frequency of once a day in 79.7%. During weekends, information is given in 95.5% of the cases. Information given over the phone 74.4%. Family participation in patient care: hygiene 11%, feeding 80.5%, physiotherapy 17%. Personal objects allowed: mobile phone 41%, computer 55%, sound system 77%, and television 30%. Architecture and comfort: all individual cubicles 60.2%, natural light 54.9%, television 7.5%, ambient music 12%, clock in the cubicle 15.8%, environmental noise meter 3.8%, and a waiting room near the ICU 68.4%. CONCLUSIONS Visiting policy is restrictive, with a closed ICU being the predominating culture. On average, technological communication devices are not allowed. Family participation in patient care is low. The ICU design does not guarantee privacy or provide a desirable level of comfort.
