Introduction: Due to factors in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the likelihood of adverse events is significantly increased, which affects the quality of care. This study examined the factors affecting the quality of nursing care in the ICU. Methods: A comprehensive review of studies was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Elsevier, and Magiran. Inclusion criteria focused on studies related to nursing care quality and family involvement in ICUs. Exclusion criteria included studies with weak methodologies or insufficient data. Results: From an initial 260 articles, 34 studies were selected, revealing key factors influencing care quality, such as family involvement, staffing levels, nurse-patient ratio, emotional Well-Being, teamwork, work environment, technological advancements, ethical challenges, cultural competence, and adequate rest. Conclusion: By investing in these key factors, ICUs can deliver safer, more effective, and patient-centered services that address the medical, emotional, and social needs of patients and their families.
