Visiting activities in this area are often restricted by strict infection control and safety regulations. In the study institution, visiting is limited to a fixed 30\u2010min period each day, which is a relatively strict policy internationally.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From the perspectives of both nurses and family members, this study explores the actual experiences of both parties during the limited visiting time, identifies the multiple challenges they face, and provides a basis for optimizing the humanized visiting strategy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A descriptive qualitative research method was adopted. From June to September 2025, 24 nurses and 25 family members of comatose patients from a tertiary hospital's ICU in China were selected as the research subjects. Data were collected through semi\u2010structured interviews, and themes were extracted using the inductive content analysis method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The research has distilled four core themes: (1) Waiting: Pre\u2010Visit Burden, Anxiety, and Informational Uncertainty; (2) Encounter: Role Management and Individual Imbalance During the Visit; (3) Aftermath: Post\u2010Visit Self\u2010Adjustment and Continuation of Experience; (4) Undercurrent: Emotional Exhaustion and Role Strain in Long\u2010Term Visiting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The visiting experience of ICU nurses and family members of comatose patients encounters multiple challenges at each stage\u2014before, during, and after the visit. There is also long\u2010term cumulative stress, and both parties lack adequate systematic support. Optimizing the visiting system requires the formulation of corresponding strategies that address the different needs of nurses and families, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
