Abstract

Relatives often lack important information about intensive care unit patients. High-quality information is crucial to help relatives overcome the often considerable situational stress and to acquire the ability to participate in the decision-making process, most notably regarding the appropriate level of care.

We aimed to develop a list of questions important for relatives of patients in the intensive care unit.
