“…(Wright & Bell, 2009). Nurses attitudes towards involving families in nursing care has been explored in different clinical settings such as paediatrics (Angelo et al, 2014), obstetric care (Ribeiro, Sousa, Santos, Silva, & Sousa, 2018), primary health care (Oliveira et al, 2011), mental health care (Hsiao & Tsai, 2015), among nurses caring for patients with psychiatric diagnoses (Sveinbjarnardottir, • This study demonstrates that younger nurses with a basic education, short-term engagement at a hospital and no experiences with illness within their own families hold less supportive attitudes about involvement of family members in the care of patients.…”

“…• Education programmes containing actively involving families in patient care need to be included in basic and undergraduate education as well as in clinical practice. 2015; Linnarsson et al, 2015;Oliveira et al, 2011), even without special training in approaches to family inclusion (Ribeiro et al, 2018). Attending an educational course in a family system nursing approach increased nurses' positive attitudes, and the way they thought about family inclusion changed towards a more collaborative focus and readiness for applying a family system approach in clinical practice (Blondal et al, 2014;Broekema et al, 2018;Svavarsdottir et al, 2015;Sveinbjarnardottir et al, 2011).…”

“…Nurses attitudes towards involving families in nursing care has been explored in different clinical settings such as paediatrics (Angelo et al, ), obstetric care (Ribeiro, Sousa, Santos, Silva, & Sousa, ), primary health care (Oliveira et al, ), mental health care (Hsiao & Tsai, ), among nurses caring for patients with psychiatric diagnoses (Sveinbjarnardottir, Svavarsdottir, & Saveman, ), in cardiovascular care (Gusdal, Josefsson, Thors Adolfsson, & Martin, ; Luttik et al, ), in surgical units (Blondal et al, ) emergency departments (Linnarsson, Benzein, & Arestedt, ), in critical care units (Hetland, Hickman, McAndrew, & Daly, ; Hetland, McAndrew, Perazzo, & Hickman, ) and among home care nurses and hospital‐employed nurses (Broekema, Luttik, Steggerda, Paans, & Roodbol, ). Generally, the studies found that nurses hold positive attitudes towards family involvement in care (Hsiao & Tsai, ; Linnarsson et al, ; Oliveira et al, ), even without special training in approaches to family inclusion (Ribeiro et al, ).

Aims and objectives To investigate attitudes towards family involvement in care among a broad sample of Danish nurses from all sectors and healthcare settings. Background Evidence suggests that nurses hold both supportive and less supportive attitudes about involvement of family members in the care of patients, and the existing findings are limited to specific healthcare contexts. Design A cross‐sectional study adhering to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology for reporting observational studies. Methods Using snowball sampling, the Families' Importance in Nursing Care‐Nurses' Attitudes questionnaire was initially administered to a broad, convenience sample of Danish registered nurses through social media: Facebook interest groups and the homepage of the Danish Family Nursing Association. These nurses were encouraged to send the invitation to participate in their network of nursing colleagues. Complete data sets from 1,720 nurses were available for analysis. Results In general, the nurses considered the family as important in patient care. Nurses who held master's and doctorate degrees scored significantly higher than nurses with a basic nursing education. Nurses who had had experience with illness within their own families tended to score higher on the family as a conversational partner subscale than those without this experience. Nurses with the longest engagement within hospital settings scored significantly lower than those with the longest engagement within primary health care and/or psychiatry. Conclusions Families are considered important in nursing care. Younger nurses with a basic education, short‐term engagement at a hospital and no experiences with illness within their own families were predictors of less supportive attitudes towards including the family in nursing care. Relevance to clinical practice Clinical leaders and managers should promote education on the importance of active family involvement in patient care in clinical practice and undergraduate education. More focus on collaboration with families in the hospital setting is needed.

Aims To identify, appraise and describe the characteristics and measurement properties of instruments assessing nurses’ attitudes towards the importance of involving families in their clinical practice. Design Psychometric systematic review. Data Sources The PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from their time of inception to June 2018. Review Methods Two reviewers independently assessed the eligibility of studies, extracted data, and appraised the methodological quality of the studies using the COSMIN checklist. Results A total of 19 studies representing 5 instruments were included. Two instruments—a revised version of the Families’ Importance in Nursing Care: Nurses’ Attitudes scale (FINC‐NA‐R) and the Family Nurse Practice Scale (FNPS)—obtained higher scores for most of their properties. The instruments used in the remaining eight studies require further assessment of their psychometric properties. Conclusion This psychometric review offers a synthesis of the quality of the available instruments and gives a better understanding of nursing theory‐based tools. The FNPS and FINC‐NA‐R instruments seem to be the most suitable measures of nurses’ attitudes towards the importance of involving families in their clinical practice. Impact The growing emphasis on improving nurse–family relationships and the quality of care provided makes it necessary to have valid and reliable instruments for assessing nurses’ attitudes towards the importance of involving families in their clinical practice. This paper provides evidence that will help clinicians and researchers make decisions about the most suitable instrument based on a critical appraisal and comparison of the measurement properties according to a rigorous methodology.

“…In addition, admission of a patient in ICU is often a stressful event that has been associated with a high symptom burden among family members in ICU (4). Such include both psychological and economic stressors (5). Occasionally, this influences the family's health, perceptions and behaviours.…”

Background Admission to Intensive Care Units (ICU) exposures family members to a new environment, advanced monitoring systems and aggressive treatments. This is coupled with the critical condition of the patient being admitted in ICU. In such times of stress and crisis, families have varying experiences as they navigate the ICU journey. These happen more or less in chronological phases. Aim This review sought to describe the experiences of family members of patients admitted in adult ICUs. Data sources Four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science) were searched, using keywords and free‐text words. Methods Curation of the review question involved problem identification, a scoping search, developing a search strategy, evaluation, data analysis, and reporting. Freehand search in reference lists of eligible articles was also done to obtain potentially eligible articles published in English language between 2007 and 2018. Studies were included if they reported on family members’ experiences in adult ICUs. This review conforms to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA). Results Upon completion of the screening process, 28 studies were included. Most studies were conducted in the United States while no study was identified from Africa. We report on 717 family members. Family members’ experience of the ICU journey falls into three main themes: (i) Floating, (ii) Probing and (iii) Continuity or Closure. Conclusion As healthcare technology advances, the ICU environment consequently needs to evolve. As such, healthcare providers will need to adjust their practice, support and consider the patients’ family as the other part of the patient and members of the care team in order to meet their expectations. Further research highlighting family members’ experience of the ICU journey in Africa is needed.
