International Journal of Nursing Studies May 2026 view family participation in patient care as a benefit or a burden. Researchers discovered that while institutional policies like flexible visiting hours promote positive perspectives, a nurse's internal state—specifically their level of burnout and emotional exhaustion—is a far more powerful predictor of their attitude. Interestingly, traditional demographics like age or education had no impact, whereas relational support and psychological well-being were essential for fostering a collaborative environment. Ultimately, the text argues that improving healthcare quality requires more than just new rules; it necessitates supporting the emotional health of clinicians to ensure families are integrated effectively into the healing process. Which individual and organizational factors shape nurses' attitudes toward family involvement in nursing care? A multicenter cross-sectional study
