Humanizing Intensive Care: From Theory to Practice.

The International Research Project for the Humanization of Intensive Care Units (Proyecto HU-CI) was initiated in 2014. The aim of this project is to change the current paradigm toward a human-centered care model. Patients, families, and professionals (everyday stakeholders) were asked to describe their ideal intensive care unit (ICU).

Unlabelled: It is a fact that visits in the intensive care units (ICU) have always been very restrictive due to diverse criteria. Nowadays, some of them have been progressively liberalized, giving to the relatives more satisfaction and a better cover to their necessities. In our country there are no surveys about the organization of these visits at the present time, apart from some exceptional cases which commentate the situation in a particular center.
