Resumen

Introduction: The current scientific evidence supports the family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, this topic continues to generate intense debate and practice follows limited. This happens, among other factors, because little is known about the views of patients about the possibility of their families witnessed resuscitation. Aim: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with support family presence during resuscitation within the hospital and identify reasons to support or not this practice. Methods: A descriptive study, cross-sectional, conducted with 122 people who received care in the emergency department in southern Brazil. Data were collected between February and March 2016, through interviews using semi-structured questionnaire. For the analysis we used descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: of the total respondents, 85 (69.7%) reported support the family’s presence in the emergency room during resuscitation. The elderly, those with higher income, chronic diseases and were more severe, significantly supported the presence of the family. The main reasons to support this practice were: to provide greater security and calm the patient and greater information to the family. On the contrary, the reasons not to support family presence is related to the possibility of family disrupt service and cause suffering in the own family. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the health professionals’ emergency department should consider the possibility of entering patients’ families during resuscitation, since most of them supported this practice.
