description Abstract Aim This study aimed to explore nurses' experiences of providing family‐centred care in the postresuscitation period. Design An exploratory‐descriptive qualitative design was used. Methods In this qualitative study, in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 22 nurses in three educational hospitals. There were six participants who completed follow‐up interviews to resolve questions generated during initial interviews. Data were analysed using conventional content analysis. Results Five main categories were extracted: continuous monitoring, facilitation of attendance, involvement in care, informing and emotional support. Despite the lack of organizational policies and guidelines, nurses explained how they work to provide family‐centred care for families, especially those they assessed as having less possibility of aggressive behaviour and those with a better understanding of their loved one's condition. To provide postresuscitation family‐centred care, nurses facilitated family attendance, involved them in some basic nursing care, and provided information and emotional support to the family members. Conclusion Nurses attempted to follow the basic principles of family‐centred care in the postresuscitation period. However, to improve the provision of care by nurses, it is necessary to embed family‐centred care principles in institutional policies and guidelines and to conduct training for nurses. Implications for the Profession Iranian nurses are interested in engaged families in the postresuscitation period. Correct implementations of such care that include all families need institutional policies and guidelines. Patient or Public Contribution No patient or public contribution.
