Background: Resuscitation is a technique that is very useful for saving lives in emergencies when a heart attack occurs suddenly and the heartbeat stops. The purpose of writing this research is to find out how the literature review has on the impact of bringing the family to witness and accompany the resuscitation process for patients in the Emergency Room and ICU. Methods: This research uses the Literature Review method with literature sources using the Google Scholar, BMC, Pubmed, and Science Direct databases. Of the 14.916 articles, 10 articles were found that met the inclusion criteria such as research methods such as cohort study, qualitative, cross-sectional, RCT, full text articles published in the last 10 years (2015-2024). Study quality writing using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Data analysis uses thematic analysis. Results: There are 3 articles that explain that health workers feel disturbed by the presence of family, 8 articles explain the benefits of family presence, and 2 articles explain the success of families during resuscitation. Discussion: based on 10 articles that have been analyzed, there are different responses and opinions from family members and health professionals, namely nurses and doctors. Then the level of resuscitation success witnessed by the family during resuscitation had no effect starting from the return of spontaneous circulation to the survival rate and neurological status of the patient who survived. Including the duration of resuscitation carried out on patients who survived and those who did not survive also had no effect (between hospitals with an FPDR policy and hospitals without a policy)
