Objective: To identify, in the perception of nurses, the factors that affect the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in adult inpatient units, and investigate the influence of both work shifts and professional experience length of time in the perception of these factors. Method: A descriptive, exploratory study conducted at a hospital specialized in cardiology and pneumology with the application of a questionnaire to 49 nurses working in inpatient units. Results: The majority of nurses reported that the high number of professionals in the scenario (75.5%), the lack of harmony (77.6%) or stress of any member of staff (67.3%), lack of material and/or equipment failure (57.1%), lack of familiarity with the emergency trolleys (98.0%) and presence of family members at the beginning of the cardiopulmonary arrest assistance (57.1%) are factors that adversely affect the quality of care provided during CPR. Professional experience length of time and the shift of nurses did not influence the perception of these factors. Conclusion: The identification of factors that affect the quality of CPR in the perception of nurses serves as parameter to implement improvements and training of the staff working in inpatient units.

“…In contrast, in the other articles that related opinions in favor of this practice, some items stood out as positives: the strengthening of family bonds, facilitation of grieving, avoiding distorted images of care [13,14] , facilitating communication, understanding and acceptance of death, certainty that everything was done, and giving their loved one the opportunity to share in the last moment [13,17] . Even in articles with a strong tendency not to accept this practice, professionals have reported that the presence of the family during CPR may make it easier for the family to accept the death, which is their right, and that there is increased confidence in the team and that it improved professional behavior [23] .…”

“…Some factors were cited in most studies as a justification for disagreement regarding the presence of the family during CPR, including: the possible increase in stress [1,6,8,11,13,17,18,23] and misunderstanding of the team [6,12,14] decreased concentration and performance of the team [11,13,17] , prolonging the resuscitation time [11,12,14,17,18,23] , psychological trauma [1,11,13,15,20] and distress [12,14] for the family, interference [6,12,15,23,18] or complaints [17] from the family during the procedure, reduced [8,12,15,18,23] or inadequate [13,17,20] space, increase in lawsuits [1, 6, 8, 11-13, 17, 20, 23] and, lack of professionals to provide support to the family [8,12,14,18] .

“…Some studies suggest that the nurses have a more favorable opinion toward the practice than the medical team [2,7,10] , while others demonstrate that Asian professionals [1,11,15,18] are more resistant than Westerners [16,19] . A number of studies conducted in Germany and Norway [12,14,20] were supportive of family presence during emergencies.…”

“…Many studies report questionnaires involving professionals that attend to such emergencies and their respective views about the presence of family members during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and differences of experience among them in different countries [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . Discrepancies were found regarding the subject matter range from the opinions of different professional categories through those among professionals in different countries [10,14] .

The presence of the family during cardiorespiratory resuscitation efforts has been reported for more than twenty years and, despite a lack of strong evidence of its benefit, the tendency to not permit this practice has been observed. The aim of this review is to identify studies in the global literature performed about the experiences and opinions of nurses and other health professionals regarding the presence of the family during intra hospital cardiorespiratory arrest. An integrative review according to steps suggested by G among was conducted that enabled the identification of four hundred and one articles, of which fourteen were selected. These are indexed in LILACS, IBECS and MEDLINE databases, using the keywords "family," "cardiorespiratory arrest," "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" and "health professionals". The analyses unit used was the theme and the categorizations were given by: health professionals experiences and opinions relationship aspect regarding the presence of the family during the cardiorespiratory arrest attendance. In 57.1% of the selected studies, the professionals responding experienced a call to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with family presence on site. Only two articles (14.2%) reported that professionals were in favor of family presence during CPR, while 57.1% were against this practice; among these were most professionals from Asian countries. It was concluded that the majority of studies are against the presence of the family during cardiorespiratory arrest although there is a trend to implement this practice, the majority of professionals are not supportive, at the same time, they coexist with the practice. Thus, research in every continents that exploring the experiences and attitudes of family members, nurses and other health professionals can broaden the understanding on the subject, as well as provide best health polices practices available for implementation in all attendance services.
