Attitudes of Community Hospital Critical Care Nurses Toward Family-Witnessed Resuscitation.

CONCLUSIONS: Findings show that community hospital critical care nurses support family-witnessed resuscitation. Prior experiences and cultural beliefs should be considered when developing family-witnessed resuscitation policies. Further research is needed on the influence of these factors on nurses' attitudes toward family presence to inform practice.
