Sammendrag
Background: The aim of this study was to illuminate the experiences of multicultural family

members in intensive care units in hospitals, when a loved one was critically ill. An increasing

migration from non-Western countries to Norway and potential double-stress for multicultural

families experiencing critical illness are pre-understandings.

Methods: The study utilised a Gadamerian hermeneutic design. Data were collected through indepth-

interviews (n = 5) and interpreted, inspired by Lindseth and Norberg’s phenomenological

hermeneutical method.

Findings: Multicultural family members’ experiences of their encounters with nurses were

understood as: ‘Struggling to preserve the families’ cultural belonging within the health care

system’, based on four themes: (a) filtering information to reduce concern; (b) understanding

and being understood; (c) protecting cultural traditions and (d) interaction between roles, rules

and expectations.

Conclusion: Family members with a non-Western ethnic background experienced several

challenges within the complex ICU environment. Multicultural family members had distinct

strategies to deal with the hospitalisation of a critically ill loved one. Interaction difficulties

and cultural traditions were not influenced by the environment alone, however the challenges

seemed to deal with universal human interaction independent of the context. Nurses need to

be sensitive to the families’ cultural customs in order to meet their expectations in a respectful

way.
