Barriers to families' regaining control in ICU: Disconnectedness

ConclusionOur findings offer an in‐depth understanding of staff engagement with families and its impact on the families' ability to regain control. Although some themes have been previously identified in the literature in isolation, the interrelationships of the categories within a theoretical framework to represent family resilience in the context of an ICU situated in the Australian health care system are a novel finding. Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe findings can be used to support patient‐ and family‐centred care interventions in the ICU.
