Do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation practice and policy in Ireland: a mixed-methods study of service user and advocacy group perspectives

The research study highlights points of weakness in the DNACPR decision-making framework for service users. While there is a desire to be involved in the DNACPR decision-making process, this is challenged by deficiencies in the understanding of CPR and uncertainty surrounding decisional authority. The decision-making framework may be strengthened by the development of accessible information and educational resources.
