Family and loved ones want to be involved
As a Patient Partner, I am involved in Critical Care research studies focused on developing relationships between medical teams and families in the ICU. Families can immediately bring attention to subtle signs of discomfort, anxiety and behavioral differences. They feel valued, reassured and empowered by being a big part of their loved one’s journey. Who knows patients better than their family members? Research has come a very long way but there is more to be done!
