title: [SUPPORT TO FAMILIES OF CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The hospitalization of the sick person in the family creates anxiety, stress, etc... The families in this situation have no tools to face reality and ignore their needs.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To identify the relationship between family needs and nursing interventions.
  
  
  METHODS
  We conducted a literature review in the databases Pub-Med, CINAHL, Cuidatge, Cuiden and ScienceDirect. After including items that meet the selection criteria were selected 18 items
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In selected items were analyzed the necessities generated by the hospitalization of a family member in the ICU, performances, interventions and proposals for improvement that are proposed to meet the needs and constraints and reluctance that occur in practice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although the literature identifies the needs of the family, the problems encountered and solutions proposed, the nurses do not integrate these needs into their operations.
