Purpose: To establish consensus between intensive care unit (ICU) experts on concrete patient- and family-centered care statements for adult patients and relatives in the ICU. Materials and methods: We did a three-round Delphi survey with a panel of ICU health care professionals from 23 ICUs in Denmark. In round 1, participants answered 20 open-ended questions, based on existing evidence. Analysis of their responses generated close-ended statements, which participants primary rated on a five-point-Likert-scale, from very important to not important at all. In rounds 2 and 3., consensus was predefined as ≥75% of participants rating a statement important. Results: Sixty-nine participated: 38 nurses, 24 physicians, and four occupational and physiotherapists. In total 96%, 90% and 72% answered the first, second, and third rounds, respectively. In round 1, participants answers resulted in >3000 statements that were analyzed into 82 condensed statements. After participants rated the statements in round 2 and 3, 47 statements reached consensus as important. Conclusions: The 47 statements rated to be important included interdisciplinary approaches to systematic information sharing and consultations with patients and family-members, with the aim being to accommodate patients and family-members´ individual needs throughout the ICU stay.
