Description
Yohanes Windi and three co-authors survey bystander readiness for cardiac arrest in Indonesia in a study from two thousand twenty-six. When a heart stops in public, a bystander's first minutes decide survival. Five hundred residents at four community health centers answered a structured questionnaire.
Few recognized sudden cardiac arrest as its own emergency; heart attack was the familiar term. Most would call for help rather than act, and hands-on help was rare. Fear of blame, low knowledge, and feeling unskilled topped the barriers. Those willing to help leaned toward waking the victim or familiar local practices; CPR was seldom named. The authors urge community training in hands-only CPR and clearer, culturally tuned guidance.
