“…Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a critical public health concern characterized by high mortality and morbidity and has been identified as contributing factors, including congenital heart disease [ 1 ], acute coronary syndrome [ 2 ], air pollution [ 3 ], viral infections [ 4 ], drug abuse [ 5 ], etc. Given that cardiac arrest often occurs outside of a medical setting, but the golden time for resuscitation is only 4 min, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential to save patients’ lives [ 6 ].…”

ObjectivesTo synthesize qualitative evidence on the experience of lay responders performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).MethodsQualitative evidence synthesis was performed using the Thomas and Harden method. The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, OVID Medline, Embase, CINAHL, CNKI, and WanFang databases were systematically searched. The quality of the research was assessed by the Critical Assessment Skills Program Tool (CASP).ResultsA total of 5,610 studies were identified, and 9 studies were included in the analysis. Four analytical themes were generated: emotional ambivalence before CPR, psychological tolerance during CPR, perceived experience after CPR, and enhancing psychological resilience.ConclusionLay responders face complicated psychological experience during CPR, which may be susceptible to psychological effects such as “loss aversion,” “bystander effects” and “knowledge curse.” In addition to the timely retraining of CPR, lay responders should be instructed to manage psychological distress and improve psychological resilience. More importantly, the psychological sequelae may be long-lasting, requiring ongoing psychological intervention and follow-up based on valuing transdisciplinarity across endeavours.
