ABSTRACT
To identify important needs of families of critically ill patients, and the degree to which these needs were being met, 64 family members and 58 nurses were asked to complete a modified version of the Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (Molter & Leske, 1983). Family members and nurses identified many similar important needs, such as the need to have questions answered honestly, the need to be called at home about changes in the patient's condition, and the need to know why things were done for the patient. However, family members indicated that some needs were both more important and less satisfactorily met than the nurses perceived the need to know the occupational identity of staff members, directions as to what to do at the patient's bedside, and having friends for support.
