“…By engaging in social nonfocused conversation with the family, the nurse can develop a rapport, gain trust, and indirectly investigate family dynamics [8]. Some cultures have gender preference and are concerned with modesty [22]. One nurse described how she used Leininger’s theory of Culture Care Diversity [27] to achieve cultural competence in caring for the family of a critically ill Amish newborn [15].…”

“…“The complex medical issues that arise in the ICU environment require a trained interpreter to communicate effectively” [10]. Interpretation by a family member can be subject to biased translation, withholding of important information, and conflict of interest/confidentiality [22]. …”

“…Another participant said, “Our culture does not tell the truth directly. Anyhow, concerning death one does not say: ‘You are going to die.’ Rather: ‘You are going to get well’ and in that way one gives hope” [22]. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations in the USA mandates the use of a trained interpreter not belonging to the family [10].…”

Statistics show that people with migrant and minority background as patients are significant in numbers in the intensive care unit. This also puts family members in the perspective of nursing because family members are an inherent part of the intensive care unit. Family-centered care is perhaps most applicable to vulnerable populations like migrant family in the intensive care unit to meet family member’s needs. But very little is known about the situation of migrant and minority family members in the intensive care unit. The aim of the study was to explore the state of the science regarding family-centered care in the intensive care unit of patients with migration background in general and with a possible focus on major migrant populations in Austria—Former Yugoslavian und Turkish origin. A literature review investigated research articles that contained information on migrant and minority family members in the intensive care unit. Key points in the relevant articles were identified and categorized into themes with an explanation of findings at the end. Seventeen articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. No article was found regarding groups of major migrant population groups in Austria. The included articles uncovered five predominant themes: importance of cultural norms, communication, family dynamics, universal caring, and nursing/provider deficit in culturally competent care. In order to provide adequate nursing care a more cohesive body of information on more specific geographic and cultural populations is recommended. Because of the complete lack of research regarding migrant families of Former Yugoslavian and Turkish origin into Austria, an exploration of this population is recommended.

“…Por tanto, será primordial atender a las diferencias individuales, así como también tener en cuenta que la valoración de las necesidades de los familiares estará sujeta a diferencias socioculturales importantes (Høye & Severinsson, 2010;Robb, 1998), pudiendo variar dicha valoración de una unidad a otra dentro de un mismo país y por supuesto entre países con notables diferencias en los sistemas de salud y de creencias, lo que exigirá ser cuidadosos a la hora de generalizar resultados de un contexto a otro (Holden, Harrison & Johnson, 2002).…”
