The purpose of this literature review is to explore parents' experiences of witnessing their child being resuscitated in hospital settings.
An integrative literature review using the databases CINAHL, PubMed and PsycInfo to retrieve articles published between 2011 and 2021 on parent-witnessed resuscitation.
This review found strong evidence of the benefit of parents being present during their child's resuscitation, with three common themes emerging: need to be present, communication and seeing to believe. Parents and the healthcare team benefit from being present, and parents feel they have more positive experiences when they are allowed to choose their level of presence.
The benefits of parental witnessed resuscitation are shown throughout the review, however, this may not always be adopted in practice. Hospital policies or resuscitation training do not cover parent-witnessed resuscitation, therefore implementation of mandatory hospital policy regarding this issue should be introduced to practice to create continuity of high-quality care.
本文献综述旨在探讨父母在医院目睹孩子接受复苏的经历。
采用综合文献综述的方法,利用 CINAHL、PubMed 和 PsycInfo 数据库检索 2011 年至 2021 年间发表的关于父母见证复苏的文章。
本综述发现,父母在孩子接受复苏时在场有很大的好处,出现了三个共同的主题:需要在场、沟通和眼见为实。父母和医疗团队都受益于在场,当允许父母选择自己的在场程度时,他们会感到更积极的体验。
本综述表明父母见证复苏的好处,但这在实践中可能并不总是被采用。医院政策或复苏培训不包括父母见证复苏,因此应该在实践中引入关于这个问题的强制性医院政策,以实现高质量护理的连续性。
