Although family resilience helps mitigate these issues, systematic research on experiences and processes of family resilience operating in ICU family members is still lacking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To systematically review and synthesize the existing qualitative evidence on the experiences and operational processes of family resilience among family members of ICU patients and provide suggestions for the development of interventions in future studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The qualitative meta\u2010synthesis was conducted in accordance with The Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research (ENTREQ). We searched eight major databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP Database and Sinomed from their inception to January 2026. The studies' quality was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Tool for Qualitative Research (2020 version) by two reviewers independently. Thematic synthesis was used to integrate and analyse the findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight eligible studies (11 papers) were screened out from 613 retrieved records. Quality assessment classified one study as Level A and all others as Level B across the included literature. Common methodological limitations involved incomplete reporting of researcher\u2010reflexivity accounts, researcher\u2010participant relational dynamics and formal ethics approval documentation. The meta\u2010synthesis identified the following five core themes: (1) Dynamic Multidimensional Family Adversities from Critical Illness, (2) Dynamic Adaptation and Restructuring of Family Functioning Patterns, (3) Proactive acquisition and integration of multi\u2010level external support resources, (4) Construction of individual and internal family belief systems and (5) Dual Impacts of ICU Crises on Families.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Family resilience relies on internal and external resources.
