It reflects the capabilities of health care professionals to meet the expectations and needs of the family members. The impact of family satisfaction level was also found to be associated with symptoms of psychological distress such as anxiety, depression and stress among family members. We evaluated the satisfaction level and prevalence, risk factor and correlation of psychological distress symptoms with the satisfaction level among family members in two Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Malaysia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, multicentre survey conducted in ICU at Hospital Sultanah Aminah Johor Bahru and International Islamic University Medical Centre. Inclusion criteria were family members aged more than 18 years old whose relatives were admitted in ICU for more than 3 days. They were enrolled 3 days after ICU admission and need to complete a modified version of Critical Care Family Needs Inventory (CCFNI) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS) questionnaires. Results: A total of 176 family members were enrolled in this study. The result of the study highlighted that 116 (66%) of the family members scores ≥ 3 denoting satisfaction with the mean CCFNI score was 3.11 (SD=0.3). Prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress were of 30.1%, 41.4% and 28.9% respectively. Risk factor for psychological distress symptoms were five family members related (female sex, spousal relationship, lower education, median income less than RM 4000 and staying with patient) and one patient related (age). Negative correlation between depression, anxiety and stress with CCFNI score were found (p < 0.05) but with low correlation coefficient (r=-0.178 to -0.209). Family members without symptoms of psychological distress were more satisfied (higher CCFNI score) with ICU care compared to those with symptoms of psychological distress (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Family members of ICU patient were satisfied with the care provided in the ICU. High rates of psychological distress symptoms in this study and its correlation with the satisfaction level highlight the need to identify and implement preventive and management strategies for family members to improve the overall ICU care. | Call Number: | t RA 790.5 M69S 2019 | Kullliyah: | Kulliyyah of Medicine | Programme: | Master of Medicine (Anaesthesiology) | URI: | http://studentrepo.iium.edu.my/handle/123456789/10366 |
