    AimTo know the current status for the role of family members in the intensive care unit and its evolution, analyzing areas for improvement and learning about the nursing role.MethodsThis work is a literature review. The selected articles included two of the key words in their title. Articles before year 2000 were excluded, except some work of great interest.ResultsFamily members lose their role and suffer a crisis when one of them is at the intensive care unit. Their normal role into the family changes or disappears. Obtaining a participation role increases satisfaction and decreases anxiety in relatives. Nursing professionals are essential in addressing this need.ConclusionsSolving the need for this role decreases anxiety and stress on relatives and patients. Their implication on the patient process enhances and helps professionals to know the patient's background.Copyright © 2014 Elsevier España, S.L.U. y SEEIUC. All rights reserved.
