Introducción. La hospitalización de la persona enferma genera en la familia ansiedad, estrés, etc. Los familiares, en esta situación, no tienen herramientas para afrontar la realidad y desatienden sus necesidades.

Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las bases de datos Pubmed, CINAHL, Cuidatge, Cuiden y ScienceDirect. Después de incluir los artículos que cumplían los criterios de selección, se seleccionaron 18 artículos. Resultados y discusión. En los artículos escogidos se analizaron las necesidades que genera la hospitalización de un familiar en la UCI, las actuaciones, intervenciones y propuestas de mejora que se proponen para satisfacer las necesidades y las limitaciones y reticencias que se producen en la práctica. Conclusiones. A pesar de que en la literatura se identifican las necesidades de la familia, los problemas que se plantean y las soluciones que se proponen, las enfermeras no integran estas necesidades en sus intervenciones (AU)
