Uncertainty in disease, intrinsic to the very process of illness, is assumed to be a major disorder of human homeostasis. The critical, unexpected, sudden and life-threatening disease assumes this role, leading by itself to the phenomenon of Uncertainty in a more perennial way. In addition to the disease per se, the clear impact of this reality in the client’s life project, its decision-making and coping capacity justifies an in-depth study in this field. Such investigation is essential to all those seeking a rigorous care planning of their differentiated interventions in the field of nurse specialty. The expected outcomes lead to effective health gains for the client and/or their families.A scoping review identifying the determinant factors of Uncertainty, as well as the facilitators of the management of Uncertainty in critical family members admitted to intensive care unit, is the central topic of the research presented in this report. Its conception starts exactly from an evolutionary perspective at the level of the “to be with”. In function of the person in critical situation, we present, reflect and analyse the practice and skills (developed or acquired) in the line of “to know”, “to know how to do” and “to know how to be”; in order to take full care of the Human Being expressed into a set of responses bio, psycho, socio, cultural and spiritual. In this process, we systematically support ourselves in the Relation of Help, without which techniques are merely procedures without a therapeutic dimension.
