Description

Yang, Song, Jin, and Peng explore security guards and bystander CPR in China, in work from twenty twenty-four. Cardiac arrest outside hospital is a major killer. A bystander who starts chest compressions can double survival, and guards are often first on scene in public places.

Fifteen guards from hospitals, housing areas, offices, and transit stations gave in depth interviews. Transcripts were coded by two researchers with both preset and emergent themes. Guards described the pull between duty and fear of blame or harm claims, summed up in the title quote. Naming those barriers is a first step to training and legal cover that help guards act.
