Abstract

The study highlights the critical need to improve healthcare communication practices in ICU settings. Training clinicians in structured and empathetic communication, particularly for families of elderly patients, may help buffer the emotional burden associated with FICUS. Establishing communication protocols and offering psychosocial support services are essential for protecting the well-being of ICU family members.
