Abstract
We asked nurses and patients' family members to complete a questionnaire about their satisfaction with family nursing. Both populations think highly of the family support and the reporting on the patient's condition. But for most items, family members were more satisfied than nurses, especially visiting hours and limits on visiting duration. Family members rated these items highly, whereas nurses felt it was difficult to keep to the visiting hours and the limits on visiting duration. Although patients' family members were highly satisfied with our nursing, they felt they could not spend a calm time with the patient. So, we imagined being a patient's family member and from that perspective, we will try to examine several things we could do to improve family nursing.
