Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Patient Experience
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Traditional closed-door intensive care units (ICUs) can negatively impact patients through limited visitation and depersonalization.
  • Altered circadian rhythms and psychological distress are common in high-technology ICU environments.
  • A growing trend emphasizes social and psychological support, leading to the adoption of open-door ICU models.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of humanized care, including social and psychological support, on patient outcomes within open-door ICUs.
  • To explore how the open-door ICU concept facilitates improved patient well-being.
  • To assess the effectiveness of humanized care strategies in critical care settings.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines.
  • Comprehensive literature search across six databases (LILACS, SciELO, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Dialnet) using MeSH and DeCS terms.
  • Analysis of 50 selected studies published between 2018-2025 using qualitative coding techniques (open, axial, selective).

Main Results:

  • Three emergent categories: Patient and Family Perceptions of ICU Care, flexible visitation and technological mediation, and humanization-centered care.
  • Humanized care elements correlated with improved emotional well-being and reduced patient anxiety.
  • Enhanced communication and increased trust between families and healthcare professionals were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Humanized care practices are crucial for improving patient outcomes in open-door ICUs.
  • Flexible visitation, emotional/spiritual support, respectful communication, and family involvement are key components of compassionate, patient-centered care.
  • Recommendations include developing institutional policies that actively support humanization for both patients and their families.
