INTRODUCTION: The contemporary health care system is increasingly becoming more responsive to the needs of patients and their families. Patients and family members have priority in decision-making. The family witnessed resuscitation refers to offering the option to a family member to remain present at their loved ones during the resuscitation. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of educational sessions on the knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of nurses about family-resuscitation witnessed. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The study was carried out over six months. In total, 31 participants were recruited in the study using a convenient sampling technique. Data were collected using a standard questionnaire. Sessions were conducted to educate nurses on resuscitation witnessed by the family. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 29.77 years. More than half (51.6%) of the participants were male. There was a significant difference between pre- and post-intervention knowledge (P=0.000), attitude (P=0.000), and experience (P = 0.000). There was also a positive association of knowledge with educational level (P=0.02), experience (P=0.001), and job position (P=0.001). Similarly, the attitude of the participants was also associated with experience (P=0.000) and education status (P=0.002). Additionally, the experience of the participants was also associated with education status (P=0.01) and Job Position (P=0.000). CONCLUSIONS: Educational interventions have a significant effect on the knowledge, attitude and experiences of nurses toward family witness resuscitation.
