    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Nursing
    • Family-Centered Care
    • Patient Advocacy

    Background:

    • Families of critically ill patients have significant visitation and proximity needs.
    • These needs are often unmet in traditional intensive care unit (ICU) settings.
    • Understanding and addressing these needs is crucial for holistic patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing literature on the proximity needs of families with critically ill patients.
    • To identify and present effective nursing interventions to meet these needs.
    • To propose a research agenda for future studies in this area.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of studies on family proximity and visitation in critical care.
    • Synthesis of findings on the importance and impact of family presence.
    • Identification of evidence-based nursing interventions.

    Main Results:

    • Visitation and proximity are consistently rated as highly important by families.
    • Current literature supports the positive impact of family presence on patient and family outcomes.
    • Various nursing interventions can facilitate family presence and proximity.

    Conclusions:

    • Meeting family proximity and visitation needs is essential in critical care.
    • Nurses play a vital role in advocating for and implementing family-centered care practices.
    • Further research is needed to optimize family presence and support in the ICU.
