Abstract |
This article explores the role of the registered nurse (RN) in the critical care environment. It presents the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as a unique environment, with a specific relationship to technology, and a history that mirrors scientific development. It explores the tensions for a caring profession with a distinct culture practising in a highly medicalised, acute environment, and affirms the value of quality human care. |

Abstract |
This study provides insight into the experience of being an ICU nurse and relative of a critically ill patient. Analysis of data from interviews of four ICU nurses who had experienced having a family member admitted to ICU brought up several themes. These included: a nurses' nightmare, knowing and not knowing, feeling torn, and gaining deeper insight and new meaning. Recommendations for organisational support for ICU nurse/relatives, and education for staff are made, based on the findings. |
