Executive Summary
The organizational implementation of CPR has been recognized as an advantageous healthcare
rule, permitting family members to observe CPR being practiced on their kin. In view of the
absence of implementation of the procedure in Jordan, trailed by the prominence of leading
family centered method, the ensuing study by Bashayreh and Saifan (2015), intended to assess
the principles and insights of family members concerning CPR. The above-mentioned research
was analytically assessed by JBI qualitative checklist, thereby leading to the identification of
pertinent information on main inadequacies and fortes of the research.

Introduction
Clinical Issue
As pronounced by Kenny et al., (2017), ‘Family Witnessed Resuscitation’ (FWR) refers
to an emergent healthcare strategy that provides rights to the family of patients, for observing the
enactment of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation’ (CPR) on the patient. However, Middle Eastern
countries such as, Jordan are do not have adequate strategies supporting application of this vital
family centered strategy. Hence, as investigated by Bashayreh and Saifan (2015), the absence of
policy application together with useful practice of family centered method results in enhanced
customer satisfaction and constructive health consequences amid patients, who had been
admitted in the particular healthcare association, thereby making it a matter of substantial clinical
prominence.
Selection of Article
A literature search was performed electronically using the keywords ‘cardiopulmonary
resuscitation’, ‘family witnessed resuscitation’, ‘policy’, and ‘family experiences’ with the help
of Boolean operators. The databases that were used are PubMed, COCHRANE, Medline,
Science Direct and BioMed. The searches were restricted within the range of 2015 – 2019 to
access the recent articles. Finally, a study conducted by Bashayreh and Saifan (2015) was
selected as it was published recently and has identifiable research limitation for studies
investigated in Jordan (McGowan et al., 2016).
