Kerry A. Milner is an associate professor of nursing, Susan Goncalves is an assistant professor of nursing, and Suzanne Marmo is an assistant professor of social work at Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, Connecticut. Sheri Cosme is the director of accreditation, practice transition accreditation, and nursing skills competency programs at the American Nurses Credentialing Center, Silver Spring, Maryland.
Background: Evidence indicates that open visitation in adult intensive care units is a best practice for patient- and family-centered care, and nurses substantially influence such visitation patterns. However, it is unclear whether intensive care units in Magnet and Pathway to Excellence (MPE) facilities nationwide implement this in practice.
Objective: To describe current national visitation practices in adult intensive care units and determine whether they have changed since the last national study, which used data from 2008 to 2009.
