  • Title: [Family members in intensive care units--possibilities and boundaries of integration of family networks into the nursing care process].
    Author: Keller A, Albert M.
    Journal: Pflege Z; 2006 Jul; 59(7):2-8. PubMed ID: 16883748.
    Abstract:
    Patients' family members are often regarded rather as a burden in intensive care, but they need personalised contact, information and support as much as the patients themselves. The concept of "family nursing" tries to integrate positive social mechanisms of support family members try to provide. For a short term nursing staff has to do some extra work, but seen from a wider angle this can become an important contribution to successful care. This approach can only be realised by an interdisciplinary collaboration of the professional team.
