Abstract

The ICU (intensive care unit) open-door is understood as the abolition of all temporary, physical and relational barriers not strictly necessary for the care of the patient, in the perspective of the promotion of a person centred care, which takes into account several dimensions as: physical, psychological and relational. This approach is supported by the scientific literature that establishes the benefits and negative effects  of this form of healthcare. Many studies show the benefits for patients, families and health staff. In Italy, this type of service modality is starting to be carried out, finding resistances in health workers due to the presence of relatives in the intensive care units. Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria di Cagliari  has started at the end of 2016 a formative, informative and organizational process with the purpose of implementing this organizational model. This research study wants to find out what is the opinion of the health staff of the ICU  of Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria of Cagliari in relation to the open-door modality
