“…The American Heart Association and other international organizations support FPDR (2,5,6,8,10). In addition, many hospitals have developed written policies on FPDR (4,6,11,12) and assessed its implementation. Following such policies, there were no negative effects on resuscitation management or resuscitation outcomes (12).…”

“…Finally, nationality and, to a minor extent, gender demonstrated a signi cant effect on healthcare providers' opinions to several survey items measuring HP perceptions of FPDR (see Table 4). The current study outcomes are contrary to the outcomes of Iran, Singapore, and Turkey, where the majority of ED physicians and nurses are against FPDR (6,7,13). But it is important to note that the study outcomes are in support of outcomes measured in Saudi Arabia, as well as a Needs Assessment for FPDR conducted by the American Heart Association, and a systematic review of four randomized controlled trials that looked at the psychological outcomes of FPDR on family relatives (10,20,21).…”

Approximately 71% of healthcare providers stated that relatives should not be present during CPR due to the possible interruption of patient care, wellbeing of the relatives, limited physical space, and resources (13). In Turkey, a literature review was performed for ve articles relating to family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.…”
