“…In recent years, the interest in studying different types of transfers in intensive care has increased (Bergman, Pettersson, Chaboyer, Carlstrom, & Ringdal, 2017;Eiding, Kongsgaard, & Braarud, 2019;Herling et al, 2020). Despite this development, interhospital intensive care unit-to-unit transfers from the family members' perspective have been sparsely investigated (Burns & Petrucka, 2020). Even though transfers may be justified when the patient's level of care needs to be optimised or when there is a lack of ICU resources, this can impose additional stress on the patient's family (Intensive Care Society, 2019;Nadig, Sterba, Johnson, Goodwin, & Ford, 2019).…”
