The design of this studied was an explanation of the patient’s family population who played a role in

decision making at home in 2016. The sample size was 260 with a consecutive sampling technique.

Researched variables include family needs and family adaptation. Testing this studied with two stages,

namely: stage one with statistics and stage two was the Focus Discuss Group which aims to strengthen

the statistical model.

Result and analysis : New findings that differ from the initial concept was that the factors that influence

the adaptation of the patient’s family in the intensive care unit were the closeness or presence of the

patient’s family next to the patient, while other factors: the need for information, providing mental support

Discuss and conclusion : There was one indicator that could explained the fulfillment factors of family

needs, namely indicators of closeness with patients. the patient’s family needs, were things that must be

met so that the family adaptation process runs optimally.
