Barriers to effective communication among nurses and family members of patients admitted to the intensive care unit at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam: A descriptive qualitative study

The study highlights that improving communication in ICU settings goes beyond individual efforts; it requires investment in staff training, adequate infrastructure, and a supportive organizational culture. Addressing both interpersonal and organizational barriers through targeted interventions can foster trust, enhance family satisfaction, and contribute to improved patient outcomes in critical care environments.
