Más datosThis study was to determine the direct and indirect effect of informational support on the levels of anxiety and satisfaction of patients’ family members in the ER. A cross-sectional design was used involving 74 family members of patients in an ER. The respondents were selected by way of a purposive sampling technique. The study employed the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and a satisfaction questionnaire to collect data. Path analysis was performed on the data analysis. The study findings show that informational support has a more direct (β=0.599) than the indirect effect (β=0.084) on family satisfaction. The results also reveal that informational support has a significant effect on the anxiety score and satisfaction of a patient's family members (p<0.05). The quality and the quantity of informational support affects the levels of anxiety and satisfaction experienced by the family of a patient in the ER.
