Abstract

Objective: To explore the current status and related factors of humanistic care needs among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), and to implement targeted humanistic care measures based on patient needs. Methods: From September 2023 to February 2024, this study involved 141 hospitalized patients at a Grade A tertiary general hospital in Xi 'an City. The study analyzed the factors influencing these needs using a questionnaire for general patient information and a questionnaire for ICU humanistic care needs. Data processing was conducted using SPSS27.0, with one-way ANOVA and independent samples t-tests used to analyze the data. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among the scores for humanistic care needs in the ICU, the highest score was for the need for a monitoring environment. The dimensions, from highest to lowest, were: the need for a monitoring environment (22.48±5.51), basic nursing needs (18.88±4.28), the need for care from nursing staff (18.57±4.46), communication needs between nurses and patients (18.45±4.81), psychological intervention needs (14.74±3.57), and visitation needs (11.42±2.65). The total score for each item of nursing humanistic care needs was (104.54±23.63). One-way ANOVA showed that educational level had a statistically significant difference in humanistic care needs (P<0.05). Conclusion: (1) Among the humanistic care needs, the highest score was for the need for a monitoring environment, indicating that improving the monitoring environment is the most urgent need for patients. (2) There is a positive correlation between patients' educational level and their humanistic care needs, with higher educational levels leading to higher humanistic care needs. (3) Patients have a high demand for humanistic care in holistic nursing, and show different characteristics, indicating that patients with different characteristics in intensive care units have different needs for humanistic care.
