Bereaved Families’ Experiences of Treatment Withdrawal and End‐Of‐Life Care in the Intensive Care Unit: An Exploratory‐Descriptive Qualitative Study
Developing and implementing programs that provide psychological support, educational resources such as informational booklets on grief, and guidance on navigating healthcare services and follow-up care can help bereaved families cope. Similarly, adopting a holistic and family-centred care approach that addresses the emotional, psychological and practical needs of families can improve their overall experience and satisfaction with care.
