Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation experienced by nurses.
Methods: The phenomenological method developed by Giorgi was used for this study. The participants were 8 nurses who had experienced cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The data were collected between July, 2010 and September, 2010 by face-to-face interviews. The interview was recorded and then transcribed.
Results: The constituents associated with the meaning of the Nurses" experiences on cardiopulmonary resuscitation were as followings: "nurses still felt embarrassed in the situation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation," "nurses found life worth and sense of satisfaction after cardiopulmonary resuscitation," "bad results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation caused nurses" emotional distress," "nurses felt sorry for patient who had no chance of being resuscitated," "nurses helped patient who had been determined to do-not-resuscitate with all their hearts."
Conclusion: The results of this study may contribute to a deeper understanding of the meaning of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation experienced by nurses. Our results highlight the need to perform more studies on comfortable experiences of patients who were recipients of do-not-resuscitate and to develop support systems for nurses working at general wards.
