Perceptions des membres de l’équipe interprofessionnelle face à la présence de la famille lors de la réanimation d’un proche
Background. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is emotionally charged for the members of the interprofessional team, but also for the patient's family. The family wants to be present with their loved one at this critical time. However, this inclusion of the family is not widespread in the hospital environment today. Different perceptions and barriers emanate from this practice. Aim. Identify the perceptions of interprofessional team members regarding the presence of the family during emergency department resuscitation maneuvers in order to promote this practice. Methodology. An integrative review of the literature according to the method of Whittemore and Knafl (2005) was conducted. Scientific articles were retrieved from the Cumulative Index to Nursing Information and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsycINFO, Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) databases. Results. Of the 1,910 potential articles identified, 23 writings were included. The integrative review highlights many benefits and risks perceived by nurses and physicians regarding the inclusion of the family during resuscitation maneuvers. One of the perceived benefits is that the family provides emotional support to the patient. Family presence also strengthens the family/caregiver bond. Factors affecting the interprofessional team's level of confidence in the inclusion of the family were also identified. However, the lack of studies on the perception of all members of the interprofessional team regarding the inclusion of families when resuscitating a loved one was noted. Conclusion. The results of this integrative review of the literature provide a starting point for reflection on the development of a model of care organization aimed at improving practices by promoting the inclusion of families.
