Abstract EN
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.
