New danish study aims to better measure how families feel about ICU care
NCT ID NCT07087132
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study translated a family satisfaction questionnaire (FS-ICU-24R) into Danish and tested how well it works. Researchers included at least 250 relatives of ICU patients. Participants filled out the questionnaire online, and some repeated it after 14 days to check stability. The goal is to ensure the tool accurately measures family satisfaction in Danish hospitals.
