Bereavement care in adult intensive care unit : directions for practice

Article indépendant

ERIKSON, Alyssa | MCADAM, Jennifer

Mortality rates in adult critical care settings can range from 10% to 29%. This leaves a contingent of family members enduring the impact of a loved one's death in the intensive care unit (ICU). Family-centered care (FCC) guidelines in critical care advocate for addressing both the patients' and families' needs and values, which includes bereavement care. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review is to provide direction for bereavement care through evaluating common components of bereavement programs and help guide ICU professionals in bereavement program planning and development.
