Psychosocial Needs of Patient's Relatives and Health Care Providers in a Pediatric Critical Care Unit.

The CCFNI with minor modifications can be used in developing countries for assessing the needs of families of children in ICU. Making sure that the relative feels assured about the care given to the child and timely information regarding the child's condition, are the two most important domains from the perspective of family members and hospital staff. Meeting these needs might help family members to cope better and be more supportive to their critically ill child.
