Sumario:AIM: The aim of this study was to explore family members' satisfaction with care and decision‐making during the intensive care units stay and their follow‐up needs after the patient's discharge or death. DESIGN: A cross‐sectional survey study was conducted. METHODS: Family members of patients recently treated in an ICU were participating. The questionnaire contented of background variables, the instrument Family Satisfaction in ICU (FS‐ICU 24) and questions about follow‐up needs. Descriptive and non‐parametric statistics and a multiple linear regression were used in the analysis. RESULTS: A total of 123 (47%) relatives returned the questionnaire. Satisfaction with care was higher scored than satisfaction with decision‐making. Follow‐ up needs after the ICU stay was reported by 19 (17%) of the participants. Gender and length of the ICU stay were shown as factors identified to predict follow‐up needs.
