The studies pointed out several strategies of family care in the ICU, as the host, active listening, guidance to family about the patients, provision of listening and welcoming rooms in individualized, among others. Conclusion: Take a look at the family and create strategies for their assistance in the intensive environment, means having a holistic look humanized care also for the patient.
