우리나라의 중환자실 면회 시스템은 대부분 대학병원 기준 하루 2번 20분~30분의 짧은 면회시간을 가지고 있다. 중환자실의 보호자들은 매번 시간을 맞추어 면회를 해야 하며 면회 인원수에도 제약을 받고 있어 제한적인 면회 시스템을 가지고 있다. 이처럼 중환자실의 면회 시스템이 많은 제한을 가지고 있는 것은 중환자실 환자들과 병문객간의 감염 위험 요인을 최소화하기 위함이 있다. 따라서 '중환자실 면회 시스템'을 제작하여 매번 면회를 오지 못하는 상황에서도 원거리 면회를 가능하게 하며 환자와 병문객 간의 감염 위험 요인을 최소화 하여 보호자들에게 심리적인 안정감을 제공하는 것이 목적이다.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand the essence of experiences of patients and family members during flexible visiting in an intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: This is a qualitative study using interviews with open ended questions. We used Colaizzi's method of phenomenological interpretation. Results: Flexible visiting in the ICU impacted the patients and their families in various ways. The following categories were extracted from the patients' experiences with flexible visiting: 1) the opportunity to feel the presence of the family and 2) the burden of unrestricted visiting. The following categories were extracted from the families' experiences with flexible visiting: 1) psychological comfort by convenience 2) being aware of health care professionals and critical care nursing in the intensive care unit, and 3) double trouble. Conclusions: These results showed that flexible visiting in the ICU affected the patients and their families positively and negatively. Therefore, nursing staff need to design psychological and social interventions that address the needs of patients and their families.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of family visits upon the stress response of patients and their families, Methods: This study was the interrupted time series design, The subjects consisted of 197 patients and 197 family members in the cardiac intensive care unit of S Hospital in Bucheon. Physiological stress responses such as blood pressure, heart rates, respiration rates, and oxygen saturation were measured using HP monitors. VAS was used to measure the emotional stress. Collected data was analyzed using repeated measure ANOVA, t-test by SPSS 17.0 statistical program. Results: The family visits did not change patients' blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration rate and oxygen saturation, However the anxiety level of patients and their family members were decreased significantly during family visits. Furthermore, 30-minute family visit reduced more effectively patient's anxiety than 15-minute family visit. Conclusion: Family visits need to be used as a means of nursing intervention to ease the emotional stress of patients and their families. In addition, increasing of visiting time should be considered.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of extended family visiting hours in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: The subjects were 168 ICU patients and their family members. Two 30-minute visits a day were allowed to the control group according to current policy, while four 30-minute visits a day were allowed to the experimental group. Patients' state anxiety was measured at the first day of ICU admission, and on the third day of ICU admission patients' anxiety and family satisfaction were measured. For the infection rate, comparison was made between the experimental and control data-collecting periods. Results: The patients' state anxiety significantly decreased in the experimental group. Family satisfaction of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group. There was no significant difference in the infection rate. Nurses positively evaluated extension of visiting hours because it could stabilize patients, reduce the number of arrangements for additional visits, and help establish trust relationship with families. Conclusion: Extended family visiting hours in the ICU reduced patients' anxiety and improved family satisfaction but had no effect on the infection rate. Extended family visiting hours in the ICU is expected to improve the quality of critical care.

최근 COVID-19의 변종으로 다시금 확진자의 수가 증가하고 있다. 특히 빠르게 증가하는 확산을 막기 위해 격리를 권고하는데, 타인과의 접촉을 최소한으로 하는 등의 환경을 제어하여 안전성을 높일 수 있기 때문이다. 그뿐만 아니라 특정 조건에 따라 면회가 금지되는 등 보호자의 입장에서 환자의 상태를 확인할 수 없을 때가 종종 있다. 이때 병원에서 사용되는 의료용 가스인 산소, 이산화탄소의 농도와 온습도, 알코올의 센서 데이터값을 지그비 무선통신 기술을 활용하여 원격으로 데이터 수집 후 전처리 과정을 거쳐 데이터베이스에 저장하고 모니터링할 수 있는 시스템을 설계하고자 한다. 관리되고 있는 환경에 대한 데이터를 병원 측에서 확인 후 피드백이 가능하게 설계하고 더 나아가 보호자들에게도 신뢰성을 줄 수 있는 시각화 시스템인 환경 모니터링 시스템을 제안한다.
