The family's social support was significantly correlated to income (p=.0001), health (p=.002), and care giver's degree of education. This study revealed that there was a significant positive correlation between family's stress and coping (p=.000) and between coping and social support (p=.000). Conclusion: The stress level of the ICU patients' family was assessed high.
