ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Relatives of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are often dissatisfied with family-physician communication. Our prospective preintervention and postintervention study tested the hypothesis that introducing this informed consent process would improve family satisfaction with the ICU process of care. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We developed a consent form that included an introductory explanation of the main ICU interventions and a description of 8 common procedures in a surgical ICU. We administered it early in the ICU course during a scheduled family meeting. The study was a prospective preintervention and postintervention design.RESULTS:
The "Family Satisfaction in the Intensive Care Unit" (FS-ICU) score was higher in the intervention than in the control group (95.4±4 vs 78.2±22, P<.001). The nursing perception of satisfaction with care was also higher in the intervention group (95.8±13 vs 71.9±28, P<.001).CONCLUSION:
A bundled informed consent resulted in higher family satisfaction with the process of care in ICU.Palavras-chave
