Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Healthcare Professionals Regarding Family Presence During Resuscitation: An Interventional Study in a Tertiary Care Setting, Karachi, Pakistan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) has not been fully adopted by healthcare professionals (HCPs), especially physicians and nurses. However, the concept of FPDR is gradually gaining recognition around the world. There are no guidelines or policies in Pakistan to guide HCPs in their practice regarding FPDR. However, over time, patients' and families' rights have gained recognition and healthcare has progressed to become more patient–family centered. Aim: The study aims to evaluate the impact of an educational program on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of HCPs towards FPDR in ED, at a tertiary care setting, in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest and posttest design was used. KAP of ED nurses and physicians were assessed before (pretest), immediately after (posttest I), and at two weeks (posttest II) after the educational intervention, which includes an hour of educational training session. Results: The mean scores of knowledge and attitude of HCPs at all three points (pretest, posttest I, and posttest II) were found to be statistically significant (p < .001). There was a significant difference between pre- and posttest I, and posttest II (p < .001), but not between the two posttests. No significant difference was observed regarding practice scores. Conclusion: The study tested an educational intervention for FPDR, which was found to be effective in improving the HCPs' knowledge and in changing their attitude. Based on these results, FPDR-specific training, with structured FPDR guidelines using a multidisciplinary team approach are essential for the implementation of FPDR.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
