ABSTRACT: This study purported to determine the predictors of family presence during resuscitation (FPDY) preference among hospitalized patients family members, by identifying the relationships between patients and relatives demographic variables, the latter's perceptions of FPDR, and their preference toward such practice. Consequently, the study aimed to contribute knowledge regarding the said practice, which in turn could assist in the development of policies for the enhancement of family-centered care in the actual setting. To achieve this, family members of admiited patients in the 4 areas of a tertiary and training hospital in Metro Manila were utlized as respondents. A validated and researcher-made questionnaire, further translated to Filipino, was employed to gather the necessary information. The researcher utilized percentage, weighted mean, and logistic regression analysis during the analysis and interpretation of the gathered data. A total of two hundred (200) relatives voluntarily participated in the inquiry. The results indicated that relatives perceived FPDR benefits on a high degree level and its risks on a moderate degree. Also, majority of the family members surveyed prefer FPDR practice to be realized in the actual setting. During the association of the identified variables, it was found out that patients biographical data do not predic FPDR preference among family members. Meanwhile, among the relatives demographic variables, gender and educational attainment were noted to significantly influence the latter's support for FPDR. Specifically, being male decreases the preference for such practice, while increasing educational level promotes their favor for such. On the other hand, the extent of the respondents perceptions of the practice's benefits and risks were observed to be related to FPDR preference as well, that is, as the perception of benefits increases, support for the practice increases. Constrastingly, as the degree of perceptions toward its risks increases, the preference for it correspondigly decreases. These salient findings could be utilized by healthcare providers as valuable entry points for identifying areas in family-centered care that could be improved in order to provide quality care to their recipients.
