摘要：Medical rehabilitation is a lengthy process which implies the intervention of
a multidisciplinary team and which challenges the patients’ and their families’
physical, psychological and fi nancial resources. The family can be partner in
providing medical care, a source of information or even a benefi ciary of care in the
situations in which caring for the patient leads to burnout. The patients surveyed
within the research conducted at the Clinic for Medical Recovery, Physical
Medicine and Balneoclimatology from Iasi, between October 2012 and December
2015, generally reported that, although the family, friends and neighbours play
an important role in maintaining the quality of life for the medically rehabilitated
patients, the physical and emotional support provided by them is insuffi cient. The
results of the study recommend the family-centred care, as opposed to the approach
centred only on the patient. By maintaining a close relation to the patient’s next of
kin, through programs for educating family members and by acquiring patients’
individual needs from family sources the medical personnel can help the patients
benefi t from more help from their families.
