“…26 A study in which patients with impaired consciousness were made to listen to music and voice messages of relatives determined that auditory stimuli increased oxygen saturation and RR. 27 Another study determined that relatives’ visits to surgical ICU patients were positively received by the patients, but the visits did not cause a significant physiological change in vital signs; 16 these results differ from those of this study. However, another study determined that auditory stimulus given to comatose patients by a family member did not cause any change in HR and RR values.…”

A bstract Aim and background There are not enough studies on the direct effect of virtual patient visits on patients’ vital signs in intensive care. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of video calls made between conscious patients and their families on the patient's vital signs and to determine the level of satisfaction. Materials and methods The research was carried out quasi-experimentally. Study data were collected from 135 patients and their relatives. The data were collected from the vital signs monitoring form and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). Satisfaction with the video call was measured with a score scale between 0 and 5. Video calls were conducted by an intensive care unit (ICU) nurse every day between 13:00 and 15:00 for 5 days. Physiological parameters were measured 30 minutes before, during, and 30 minutes after the video calls. Results The mean patient pulse rate (PR) value was 92.04 ± 12.87, respiratory rate (RR) value was 22.89 ± 3.63, and GCS total score was 14.01 ± 0.12 during the call. There was a statistically significant difference between these values measured during the video calls and the values measured before and after the interview ( p < 0.00). The mean score of patient satisfaction with the video call was 4.80 ± 0.44; for relatives, the mean score was 4.87 ± 0.33. Conclusion This study revealed that video calls with family members affected PR, RR, and GCS of patients hospitalized in ICU. Clinical significance Video calls can be implemented in all ICUs where visits are restricted. This practice is well recognized by both families and patients.

“…Diversos estudios, han revelado que las percepciones del personal de salud, especialmente de las enfermeras, subestiman las propiedades benéficas de las visitas abiertas y, así mismo, maximizan las creencias sobre sus efectos deletéreos, sin la existencia de evidencia científica que lo sustente, de modo que los profesionales de enfermería no consideran que las políticas de visitas abiertas puedan favorecer la recuperación y mejorar el cuidado centrado en el paciente, incrementar el confort de los enfermos y proporcionar un apoyo para los cuidadores (7). De forma similar, creen que las visitas flexibles interfieren con la planeación del cuidado, incrementan el tiempo que el enfermero utiliza brindando información a los familiares, obstaculizan con el cuidado directo de enfermería, favorecen el agotamiento de los pacientes y familiares, interfieren con el humor de las enfermeras, incrementan el estrés psicológico del paciente, hacen que los profesionales se sientan controlados, generan descompensación hemodinámica en los pacientes e infringen su privacidad e incrementan el riesgo de infección (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14), por lo que restringen las visitas e implementan barreras para su flexibilización (8).…”

Intensive care units (ICU) are conceived as closed spaces, due to the complexity of patients which are handled therein. For this reason, visits have become an issue of great importance, since they influence the satisfaction of the patients' needs, their families and beliefs of health personnel. Talking about the overview of visits in the ICU involves going back to their origin and evolution, considering that the notions about the severity of the patients which are hospitalized there and the beliefs of their caregivers have marked an important point in the historical restriction of those visits. Similarly, it is necessary to mention the benefits of a liberalized policy, get to know the general perspective of visitors in the ICU and the role of the nursing staff in this regard. This article seeks to motivate the nurses to have a more active participation in the decision-making on policies regarding the ICU visits, departing from their knowledge of their outlook and the effects flexible policies have on the patients' health and family stability.
