Purpose : Life-threatening illnesses represent a crisis for individual patients and their families. Little has been made to understand the priorities or perspectives in developing a care plan. This results in poor outcomes, and patients and families return home without being satisfied with the care provided. This study aimed to address nurses¡¯ and families¡¯ care priorities on patient and family-centered care principles and compare those priorities.
Methods : A quantitative comparative descriptive research was conducted. The data were part of a study that was carried out to elicit and compare nurses¡¯ and families¡¯ perceptions of complying with patient and family-centered care (PFCC) principles in intensive care units (ICU) in Ghana. The respondents were ICU nurses (n=123) and family members of hospitalized patients in the ICU (n=111). The tool for the study was a ¡°modernized version of a hospital self-assessment inventory on PFCC,¡± and data analyses were performed using SPSS version 20.0.
Results : Nurses and families differed significantly in their priorities of care based on the principles of PFCC. The means and p-values were significantly different for the definition, pattern of care and access to information/education, and the overall total scores of the patient and family-centered care principles (PFCCP)
Conclusion : To render care that aligns with the care priority of families and patients in the ICU, nurses must plan care in consultation with their families.
