Abstract
Introduction: This descriptive study was conducted to determine the opinions of nursing students about the presence of family members during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods: This study was conducted with 487 students who were studying in the nursing department of the Faculty of Health Sciences, in 2017-2018 academic year. Data were collected using ‘‘questionnaire form’’ which was developed to determine students’ opinions about the presence of family members during pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Data were analyzed by using the descriptive statistics and chi-square test. Results: The average age of students was 19.84±1.85 years, 87.7% of them were girls and 40.9% were first grade students. 15% of the students previously joined resuscitation process, 18.9% of them only observed this process. 86.9% of the students did not have information regarding the family’ witness of resuscitation, 61.4% of them stated that family should not join this process, 55.6% of them said that the presence of family would be a problem during the resuscitation. 91.4% of the students stated that family should not join the process because of presenting emotional reactions, 63.7% of the students stated that if their relative were resuscitated, they would want to join the resuscitation. Students who were female and who previously joined resuscitation process did not want the family members to be present in the process (p<0.05). Students who were at first class wanted the presence of family members during resuscitation more (p=0.002). Conclusion: The students’ grade, gender, resuscitation knowledge and previous involvement in the resuscitation process have affected their views about the presence of family members for witnessing their children’s resuscitation.
