- Abstract
Introduction: Advancements in medicine and technology have increased the average life expectancy, leading to a rise in patients requiring intensive care. Evaluating the satisfaction of patients' relatives has become crucial for assessing healthcare quality in intensive care units (ICU). This study aims to assess how the perception of patients' relatives changes during treatment in the unit and identify the factors influencing these changes. Method: A working group will be formed consisting of relatives of patients who were referred to intensive care and hospitalized for at least 3 days. The same scales will be applied to each patient's relative. Our scale will be given at the beginning and end of the process, starting from the patient's admission to our ICU. Relatives of deceased patients will also be included in this group. Results: Patient relatives in the sample that has not yet been completed. The average score was 41.25 on the doctor trust scale, 43 on the medical distrust scale, and finally, on our depression and anxiety scale, it was upper limit in 75% of the patients and borderline in the rest. Their perceptions of their patients' condition and the conditions in the ICU were consistently high. It revealed that there was no significant difference in the before and after satisfaction levels. These results indicate that the satisfaction levels of patient relatives in the ICU were high. Conclusion: At ICU admission, factors indicating dissatisfaction risk in families are identifiable. Specific elements during the patient's ICU stay are strongly linked to overall dissatisfaction. These insights can inform evidence-based strategies to improve ICU satisfaction in the future.
