    Circular questioning is an assessment strategy for families of critically ill patients. This technique gathers information and offers new insights, aiding in support and intervention planning.

    Area of Science:

    • Critical care medicine
    • Family systems theory
    • Communication strategies

    Background:

    • Traditional family assessment in critical care focuses on data collection for support needs.
    • Limited strategies exist that simultaneously assess and intervene with families of the critically ill.

    Observation:

    • Circular questioning is a technique that elicits information from multiple family members.
    • These questions are designed to reveal relational dynamics and family patterns.
    • The act of questioning itself can be therapeutic and informative for the family.

    Findings:

    • Circular questioning serves as both an assessment tool and an intervention.
    • It facilitates the acquisition of new information for both the clinician and the family.
