Family needsPractical needs generally concern the family member’s feeling of comfort, in which both material and non-material matters can play a role.

In the category of the non-material needs, flexible visiting hours are at the top, followed by help with financial or family problems and explanations of what family members can do at the bedside of the patient and how they can contribute to the patient’s care.

Material things include a waiting room with a telephone, comfortable furniture, blankets and a place to lie down, a cafeteria and a toilet and a bathroom near the ICU. The priorities assigned to these material comfort needs vary.

That family members find their own material needs least important shows, once again, that they give absolute priority to everything that concerns the patient.

Hospitals give low priority to meeting the practical needs of family members who, in turn, express the least amount of satisfaction with it
