To date there have been no published qualitative studies looking solely at the experiences of nurses caring for the relatives of patients who are critically ill. This small-scale phenomenological study explores such experiences. Three intensive care units in North West England were included; the nine participants were D grade or above, with a minimum of three months' ICU experience. Each nurse attended a tape-recorded, unstructured interview to discuss caring for relatives. A thematic analysis of the nurses' comments was then performed. Although many of the nurses understood the benefits of performing the care-giver role to families, some nurses felt inadequately prepared. There were also issues about whether they felt supported by colleagues in undertaking this role.
