title: The phenomena of nurses' caring behaviors as perceived by the critical care family.
abstract: Few studies have comprehensively focused on caring as perceived by the critical care family. This study explores and describes positive types of nurses' behaviors and critical care families' perceptions of these nursing behaviors as caring. Grounded theory methodology was used to enter the world of the critical care family and to elicit the meanings of caring behaviors in nurse-family interactions in the critical care waiting room.
