Abstract
- Families of intensive care unit (ICU) patients perceive severe deficiencies in communication about decision making.
- MyICUGuide is a family-facing intervention to empower and capacitate family members during shared decision making.
- Family members of noncapacitated patients reviewed MyICUGuide.
- 100% of participants rated MyICUGuide positively, and 93% would recommend MyICUGuide to others.
- Family-centered decision-support tools are well accepted by family members of critically ill patients.
- Voices of family members of ICU patients are underrepresented in the literature.
