Family presence during resuscitation is a controversial issue worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the self-confidence and attitudes of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) towards family presence during resuscitation (FPDR).
In this cross-sectional study, a random sample of 252 EMTs were selected from 110 prehospital emergency centers. Two main questionnaires were used to collect data on the EMTs' self-confidence and attitudes towards FPDR.
The results showed that the EMTs' attitudes towards FPDR were lower than the mean (43.69 ± 19.40). In addition, more than 85% of them stated that the resuscitation process was stressful for the patient's companions. There was a positive correlation between EMTs' self-confidence and attitudes towards FPDR (r = 0.52, p < 0.01). The results showed that the smaller number of family members present during resuscitation was associated with higher EMTs' self-confidence and more positive attitudes towards FPDR. Moreover, personnel with more experience, liability insurance, and advanced resuscitation training were significantly more self-confident than other personnel.
A large number of the EMS personnel have a negative attitude towards FPDR, but EMTs, with higher self-confidence, have a more positive attitude. Therefore, it is possible to improve the EMTs attitudes towards FPDR and increase their self-confidence by training them to perform resuscitation in the presence of the family and by preventing people from gathering at resuscitation scenes.
复苏期间家属在场在全球都是一个有争议的问题。本研究的目的是调查急救医疗技术人员（EMT）对复苏期间家属在场（FPDR）的自信程度和态度。
在这项横断面研究中，从110个院前急救中心随机抽取了252名EMT作为样本。使用两份主要问卷收集关于EMT对FPDR的自信程度和态度的数据。
结果显示，EMT对FPDR的态度低于平均水平（43.69±19.40）。此外，超过85%的EMT表示复苏过程对患者家属来说压力很大。EMT的自信程度与对FPDR的态度之间存在正相关（r = 0.52，p < 0.01）。结果表明，复苏期间在场的家属人数越少，EMT的自信程度越高，对FPDR的态度也越积极。此外，经验更丰富、有责任保险和接受过高级复苏培训的人员比其他人员明显更自信。
大量急救医疗服务人员对FPDR持消极态度，但自信程度较高的EMT态度更积极。因此，通过培训他们在家属在场的情况下进行复苏，并防止人员聚集在复苏现场，有可能改善EMT对FPDR的态度并增强他们的自信。
