Background: A number of questionnaires designed for analyzing family members¡¯ inconvenience and demands in intensive care unit (ICU) care have been developed and validated in North America. The family satisfaction in the intensive care Unit-24 (FS-ICU-24) questionnaire is one of the most widely used of these instruments. This study aimed to translate the FS-ICU-24 questionnaire into Korean and validate the Korean version of the questionnaire.
Methods: The study was conducted in the medical, surgical, and emergency ICUs at three tertiary hospitals. Relatives of all patients hospitalized for at least 48 hours were enrolled for this study participants. The validation process included the measurement of construct validity, internal consistency, and interrater reliability. The questionnaire consists of 24 items divided between two subscales: satisfaction with care (14 items) and satisfaction with decision making (10 items).
Results: In total, 200 family members of 176 patients from three hospitals completed the FS-ICU-24 questionnaire. Construct validity for the questionnaire was superior to that observed for a visual analog scale (Spearman¡¯s r = 0.84, p < 0.001). Cronbach¡¯s ¥ás were 0.83 and 0.80 for the satisfaction with care and satisfaction with decision making subscales, respectively. The mean (¡¾ standard deviation) total FS-ICU-24 score was 75.44 ¡¾ 17.70, and participants were most satisfied with consideration of their needs (82.13 ¡¾ 21.03) and least satisfied with the atmosphere in the ICU waiting room (35.38 ¡¾ 34.84).
Conclusions: The Korean version of the FS-ICU-24 questionnaire demonstrated good validity and could be a useful instrument with which to measure family members¡¯ satisfaction about ICU care.
