Protocol: Patient-centred and family-centred care of critically ill patients who are potential organ donors: a qualitative study protocol of family member perspectives

摘要

In a patient-centred and family-centred approach to organ donation, compassion is paramount. Recent guidelines have called for more research, interventions and approaches aimed at improving and supporting the families of critically ill patients. The objective of this study is to help translate patient-centred and family-centred care into practice in deceased organ donation.
