“…3,15,16 Family presence during procedures has been studied more in children (patients <20 years old) than in adults. According to Mangurten et al, 17 89% of pediatric health care providers think that patients' family members should have the option of being present during procedures. In addition, parental presence can reduce anxiety and pain during burn dressing changes.…”

ObjectivesTo improve communication, discharge readiness, and satisfaction of burn patients and their families.MethodsIn March 2009, the burn intensive care unit at University of Louisville Hospital, Louisville, Kentucky, incorporated family presence during dressing changes. Adverse family events during observation, measures of patient- and family-centered care according to a standardized patient satisfaction survey, infection rates, and staff members’ response to the intervention were tracked.ResultsThrough December 2011, no adverse family events occurred, patients’ satisfaction scores increased, and infection rates did not increase. Staff members responded positively to the project.ConclusionsAllowing family presence during dressing changes provides an opportunity to educate and include patients’ family members in care delivery.

“…Families want the option to be present [14], and the literature has shown that those families who have been involved in FWR found it a positive experience for themselves and their relative [22][23][24].

Inconsistencies abound in the literature regarding staff attitudes and perceptions toward family-witnessed resuscitation. Our study builds on previous research by using a validated tool to investigate emergency department staff perceptions of family-witnessed resuscitation. A cross-sectional survey was distributed to 221 emergency department doctors' and nurses' . We found few differences between doctors and nurses perceptions toward family-witnessed resuscitation. Both nurses and doctors who held a specialty certification, who were more highly qualified, who had more experience with family presence during resuscitation, and who had a personal preference for having family members present during their own resuscitation perceived more benefits and fewer risks, as well as more confidence in their ability to manage these events. However, nurses more than doctors want patients to provide advanced directives for family presence. The findings will enable clinicians, educators, and hospital management to provide better support to all stakeholders through these events.

“…Health care professionals seem to personally prefer to have the option as both a family member and as a patient to allow patients' family members to stay. 9,13,14 In the current study, the participants as a whole supported family presence if patients viewed it as their right. Yet more nurses than physicians continue to view family presence as a patient's right.…”

Background Many health care professionals believe that they provide holistic care. The role of spirituality, a known variable of holism, has not been explored in relation to the support among health care professionals for family presence during invasive procedures and resuscitative efforts in adults. Objective To determine the relationship between spirituality of health care professionals and their support for family presence during invasive procedures and resuscitative efforts in adults. Methods In this descriptive correlational study, 108 participants (physicians, physician assistants, and nurses) completed the Howden Spirituality Assessment Scale and a survey to measure their support for family presence. Results A significant positive relationship was found between spirituality and support for family presence during resuscitative efforts in adults (r = 0.24, P = .05) and a significant negative correlation was found between support for family presence and the age of the health care professional (r = -0.27, P = .01). No significant correlations were found between any of the study variables and invasive procedures in adults. Conclusions Adopting a more holistic perspective may support family presence, especially during resuscitative efforts in adults. Allowing the option for patients' families to remain present promotes holistic family-centered care. (American Journal of Critical Care. 2009;18:357-367) 3. Discuss how to implement formal policies and education for health care professionals that allow family presence during invasive procedures and resuscitation.
