“…In some cases, the evidences show opposite results. For instance, studies conducted on patients' families showed that their presence during CPR procedure not only does not result in distress in them, but also has positive psychological effects on them [20,21]. In the study conducted in 2020 by Grimes, the most common barriers to family members witnessing CPR procedure were fear of adverse litigation, the importance of the role of the facilitator, lack of policies and clear instructions in the workplace regarding the presence of family members during CPR procedure, and staff lack of knowledge and education regarding the presence of family members during CPR procedure, which differs from the findings of the present study [17].…”

Background: Nurses' views about the presence of family members during cardiopulmonary resuscitation can affect their performance during this procedure. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of reviewing the quantitative studies conducted on the views of Iranian nurses about the presence of family members during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods:In the present study, a narrative review methodology was employed. We searched PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Magiran, SID, and Google Scholar electronic databases for related articles published from 1990 until 2020. For this purpose, the following key terms were used: "cardiopulmonary resuscitation", "family", "family presence during resuscitation", "perspective", "views", "attitudes", "nurses", "members of the care and treatment team", and "holistic care".Results: A total of 6 articles were identified that were in line with the objective of the present study.All 6 studies were descriptive. The results of the studies revealed that Iranian nurses do not have positive views about the presence of family members during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The most common barriers mentioned by Iranian nurses were increased stress among CPR team members, difficulty around stopping CPR procedure in futile situations during family presence, and the possibility of legal problems. Conclusions:The results of studies showed that in half of the studies, Iranian nurses had a neutral view and in half of their studies, do not have a positive view about the presence of family members during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is strongly recommended that further studies be conducted in this regard in Iran.

“…However, this remains an unexplored area for Saudi Arabia, where the attitude and characteristics of HCPs have not been explored. One of the previous researches conducted in Saudi Arabia was central to perception of the HCP [ 18 ], while other studies have been restricted to regions such as Poland [ 9 ], Brazil [ 19 ], Hong Kong [ 20 ], Australia [ 11 ], and UK [ 21 ]. The study aims to bridge this gap by examining the physicians' attitudes toward FP during adult CPR in Saudi Arabia.…”

Healthcare providers have disparate views of family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation; however, the attitudes of physicians have not been investigated systematically. This study investigates the patterns and determinants of physicians’ attitudes to FP during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional design was applied, where a sample of 1000 physicians was surveyed using a structured questionnaire. The study was conducted in the southern region of Saudi Arabia for over 11 months (February 2014–December 2014). The collected data was analyzed using the Pearson chi-square test. Spearman’s correlation analysis and chi-square test of independence were used for the analysis of physicians’ characteristics with their willingness to allow FP. 80% of physicians opposed FP during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The majority of them believed that FP could lead to decreased bedside space, staff distraction, performance anxiety, interference with patient care, and breach of privacy. They also highlight FP to result in difficulty concerning stopping a futile cardiopulmonary resuscitation, psychological trauma to family members, professional stress among staff, and malpractice litigations. 77.9% mostly disagreed that FP could be useful in allaying family anxiety about the condition of the patient or removing their doubts about the care provided, improving family support and participation in patient care, or enhancing staff professionalism. Various concerns exist for FP during adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which must be catered when planning for FP execution.
