“…Usually, finding the loved ones in the critical and stressful situation of an ICU with all those complicated machines attached to the patient is stressful and increases mental and spiritual pressures on the family (7). The patients in the ICU are in critical condition or in a highly risky situation and need special attention (8)(9)(10). This situation can be a cause of sorrow, hopelessness, and loss of ability in the family (11)(12)(13).…”

Background: Spiritual support, belief in God, and praying are of the elements and tools used by a family to deal with stressful events. Objectives: The present study is aimed at examining the effects of spiritual and religious interventions on the resilience of family members of ICU patients. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out with participation of 34 family members and blood relatives who kept the patients in the ICU ward of Kermanshah Imam Reza hospital company. The participants were selected through convenient sampling and then randomly allocated to the experiment (n = 17) and control (n = 17) groups. The experiment group received interventions in the form of spiritual-religious intervention sessions (8 group sessions, 3 sessions a week, each 45 -60 minutes). Resilience was measured using Connor Davidson resilience scale (CD RIS) before and after the interventions and the data was analyzed in SPSS (20). Results: Paired t-test results indicated that there was a significant difference in terms of the mean score of resilience before and after the religious and spiritual interventions in the experiment group (P value = 0.001). The test also showed that there was no significant difference in terms of the mean resilience score before and after the interventions in the control group (P value = 0.525). The results of independent t-test indicated that there was no statistically significant difference (P value = 0.663) between the control and experimental groups before the interventions, whereas there was a statistically significant difference between the control and experimental groups after the intervention (P value = 0.025). Conclusions:The findings showed significant effectiveness of spiritual-religious interventions on increasing the resilience of family members of patients.

“…When interruptions by external stimuli occur, there is a concentration breakdown, raising the mental workload and leading to reduced performance (14) . The instability related to the interruptions and associated with performing tasks can induce errors (7,9) , such as failures to fill in documents that are relevant to the patient and to the team.…”

“…The telephone ringing has been confirmed as a major cause (14) along with alarms, family members, multiprofessional staff, nursing colleagues and noises (2) . According to the reports, the patients (n=16, 51.6%) have caused fewer interruptions than the nursing team (n=20; 64.5%), a situation confirmed in another study (14) . This duality of professionals between the requirement to keep their concentration on the quality of the activities performed and to be collaborative with their co-workers can become a problem that demands learning and skills (16)(17) .…”

“…Observational surveys conducted in specialized units such as the ICU (14) and pediatric units (11) have showed a greater number of interruptions in the ICU -20 interruptions/hour (14) -in relation to the pediatric unit -on average 4.7L interruptions/hour (11) . It is important to note that, unlike the previously mentioned investigations, the findings of the present study refer to the nurses' perceptions about interruptions in their work dynamics.…”

The interruptive processes are more frequent during the documentation process (n=118; 91.5%) and guidance to the patient/family (n=58; 45%). They are caused by the ringing of the phone (n=114; 87%), and by problem solving in the unit (n=107; 81.7%). Conclusions:According to the nurses' opinion, the interruptive processes have repercussions on the working dynamics, on the caring process and on the patient's safety. Keywords:Workflow.
