摘要
Experiencing the end of life of a family member in the intensive care unit is clearly difficult. An important role of critical care nurses is to help family members through this challenging period. This article highlights a few clinically significant barriers and facilitators related to improving family experiences at the patient's end of life that have received less attention in the literature thus far. Facilitators include specific aspects of communication, the nurse's role as the coordinator of care, bereavement care, promoting a "good death," and caring for health care providers. Barriers include medical uncertainty and differences in values and culture.
