Evidence Based Family Assistance Programs
Family Care Principals & Rationale
In studies by Molter, Leske and others identified thefollowing 10 needs are most important to families of critical care patients:
- Feel there was hope;
- Feel hospital personnel cared about the patient;
- Have a waiting room near the patient;
- Be called at home about changes in the patient’s condition;
- Know the prognosis;
- Have questions answered honestly;
- Know specific facts about the patient’s prognosis;
- Receive information about the patient once a day;
- Have explanations given in understandable terms; and
- Be allowed to see the patient frequently.
Our board of medical advisors have agreed with the article from the American College of Chest Physicians; "Origins and Development* The Critical Care Family Assistance Program Marilyn A. Lederer, CPA; Tracy Goode, MHSA, MBA and Jane Dowling, PhD "...In a later article, Leske,8 building on the work of Molter,7 was able to validate these classifications and group them into the following five domains of need: support, comfort, proximity, information, and assurance..."
ICU STAT GUIDE has been designed on the principals of sound research and practice. Our web based application, kiosks and digital signage content are available to assist any ICU department replicate a Critical Care Family Assistance program that addresses Molter's et all Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) and includes the Wasser Critical Care Family Assistance Satisfaction Survey (CCFAS).
Benefits of Having an Family Care Specialist
Benefits to Staff Nurses: "...Although our ICU staff nurses did not initially anticipate any benefits from having an FCS other than the obvious advantages to patients’ families, the nurses were pleasantly surprised to find their workload lightened. Currently, each FCS is an appreciated staff member and enjoys the staff nurses’ enthusiastic support..."
"...To one group of nurse managers, the average length of stay has actually decreased since the introduction of the Critical Care Family Assistance Program (CCFAP). They confirmed this by reviewing patient records..."
