A Theoretical Model of Spousal Caregiving Postintensive CareKeywords: critical care rehabilitation,family,intensive care,nursing theory Abstract: Assuming the role of caregiver for a life partner after critical illness can be both a rewarding and challenging experience for spouses. Using a grounded theory approach, ?g?rd, Egerod, T?nnesen, and Lomborg developed a theoretical model describing the experience from spouse to caregiver and back. To further develop this theoretical model, a literature review was completed and nursing interventions were identified and included in the model. Testing of this theoretical model is recommended to determine its empirical adequacy
