Family Outcomes and Perceptions of End-of-Life Care in the Intensive Care Unit: A Mixed-Methods Review

Abstract: The purpose of this review was to evaluate end-of-life care (EOLC) in the intensive care unit (ICU) from the perspective of family members. Sandelowski’s segregated approach from Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Mixed-Methods Systematic Reviews guided this review. A search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and ProQuest databases and identified 50 papers (33 quantitative, 15 qualitative, and 2 mixed-methodology studies). Five synthesized themes (distressing emotions, shared decision-making, proact… Show more

“…Family members of COVID-19 patients in the ICU needed support ("family-centered care") and assessment of their emotional state, which could be provided through telephone calls and home visits with the palliative care or social work team providing active listening, reassurance, empathy, and networking. 11 Although evidence shows that family members want proactive and structured communication, [12][13][14][15][16][17] this study found communication between healthcare providers and family members were insufficient. Family members reported difficulty reaching providers and reported feeling uninformed, which suggests that various approaches for communicating with families should be considered.…”

“…Die Anwendung von Maßnahmen, die auf dem Konzept einer effektiven gemeinsamen Entscheidungsfindung basieren, kann mit einer kürzeren Verweildauer auf der Intensivstation bzw. im Krankenhaus, der Auswahl von Palliativpfaden in Pflegeheimen sowie geringeren Kosten für die Gesundheitsversorgung und weniger innerklinischen Todesfällen verbunden sein, obwohl der Beleg dazu aus systematischen Übersichtsarbeiten und aktuellen Studien widersprüchlich ist [ 73 , 75 , 77 , 79 87 ].…”

“…Bis zu 50 % der Familienmitglieder kritisch kranker Patienten leiden unter psychischen Symptomen wie akutem Stress, posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung, Angstzuständen, Depressionen und Entscheidungskonflikten [ 15 , 88 90 ]. Interventionen zur Unterstützung der Familie können dazu beitragen, diese psychologischen Auswirkungen zu verringern, wie aus vier systematischen Reviewarbeiten [ 46 , 79 , 80 , 91 ] und zwei aktuellen Studien hervorgeht [ 92 , 93 ]. Einige neuere Studien ergeben jedoch, dass Maßnahmen zur Unterstützung der Familie die psychischen Symptome bei Familienmitgliedern nicht reduzieren [ 74 , 75 , 83 , 87 ].…”
