Echoes of isolation: Exploring Arab family perspectives and health care providers' reflections in <scp>ICU</scp> settings during critical care

Abstract

This study underscores the critical role of family support and involvement in ICU care, specifically highlighting the responsibilities of ICU nurses. It calls for targeted policy modifications, the implementation of structured communication strategies and the establishment of a supportive environment to enhance family engagement. By equipping ICU nurses with the necessary resources, training and tools, these strategies aim to optimize family-centred care, improve the quality of communication and ultimately contribute to better patient outcomes in intensive care settings.
