Fulfilling the psychological and information need of the family members of critically ill patients using interactive mobile technology: A randomised controlled trial.

Background: Intensive care nurses may have an important role in empowering families by providing psychological support and fulfilling the family's pivotal need for information.

Aim: To determine whether 'education of families by tab' about the patient's condition was more associated with improved anxiety, stress, and depression levels than the 'education of families by routine'.

Research Design: A randomized control trial of 74 main family caregivers (intervention: 39; control: 35).
