Description
Marte-Marie Wallander Karlsen and co-authors ask critical care nurses across three countries how a communication model for ventilated patients lands in real intensive care. Patients on ventilators cannot speak, and that silence is among the hardest parts of an intensive stay. A guiding model could steady the staff side of the exchange.
Their 2026 study runs six focus groups with twenty nine nurses in Denmark, Norway, and the United States. One theme towers over the rest: relationship-building is the starting point for any meaningful communication. Subthemes cover reading each patient's abilities and pacing the exchange to them. The nurses judge the model relevant where it honors that relationship first, technique second.
