Abstract
The environment and the surrounding of the intensive care units can be hostile to patients and their families. The purpose of humanizing intensive care project is to serve as a forum and a meeting point between patients, family members, and professionals; disseminate intensive care and bring them closer to the general population, emphasizing on activities related to the humanization of care; promote training in humanization skills, communication, helping the relationship, among other things; and focus toward the provision of humanized attention by setting standards and ensuring compliance in those units that request it.
