Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate the actual experience and needs of family caregivers for cardiac arrest patients.Methods:Qualitative research on the real experience and needs of family caregivers in patients with cardiac arrest was electronically searched in databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase. Two researchers independently screened the literature, evaluated its quality, and integrated the research results. The search period was from database establishment to May 1, 2023.Results:A total of 15 articles were included, and 51 research results were extracted. The similar results were summarized into nine categories and integrated into three results, including sudden changes in life and substantial impacts; challenges in controlling complex emotions, and multiple psychological experiences; multidimensional needs.Conclusions:Family caregivers' actual experiences and requirements for cardiac arrest patients are diverse. Medical and nursing staff need to pay attention to the emotional experiences of family caregivers and meet their multidimensional needs.
