This literature review will examine the pre-existing research undertaken on family presence during adult resuscitation (FPDAR) to determine health professional attitudes and experiences in critical care environments regarding FPDAR within Europe. The topic FPDAR was chosen due to the authors experience whilst in placement of a family member being refused permission to remain with their loved one during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

This new knowledge can then be used to directly and indirectly influence the delivery of evidence based nursing to link up to date research to practice (Burns and Grove, 2009).
Linking research to practice provides what is known as evidence based research (Burns and Grove, 2009). Research is a scientific process that it designed to validate and refine pre-existing knowledge, and thus generates new knowledge can directly, and indirectly, influence the delivery of nursing practice (Burns and Grove, 2009).
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2015) code states that: All qualified nurses have a duty and responsibility to ensure their practice is in line with the best available evidence to ensure that the care given is safe and effective. A nurse's role to ensure they are providing is up to date evidence base care to ensure optimum care and improve health
