The Royal College of Nursing recommends that appropriately trained healthcare professionals should support relatives who express a wish to witness resuscitation. The aim of this research was to identify the knowledge and experience of family-witnessed resuscitation of children's nurses. ⋯ Recommendations related to staff who support family members during resuscitation attempts need to be more widely implemented. In particular, the lack of education of children's nurses about family-witnessed resuscitation should be addressed to help improve the care of parents who witness resuscitation of their child.
