Abstract :
The incidence of coronary heart disease in the world and Indonesia increase so that the risk for sudden cardiac arrest (HJM) in the future is increasing. In Indonesia, there is no data on the number of laypeople who can help in the HJM (bystander). This study is a descriptive study that aims to determine the knowledge and attitudes of ordinary people in Bandar Lampung in cardiac arrest with CPR rescue. The population is ordinary adults working in the area of ​​public services in the city of Bandar Lampung with a sample size of 168 people who are determined by purposive sampling. Data were collected by the paper-based test with questions (instrument test) and an attitude questionnaire. Research data will be processed and analysed descriptively to describe the amount (frequency) and the percentage of respondents' knowledge and attitudes. The research result shows that the knowledge of society in Bandar Lampung about cardiopulmonary resuscitation was 93.45%, while aspects of public attitudes toward CPR actions balanced between the support (50.6%) and unfavourable (49.4%). Based on these results, we made several recommendations, among others: the need for advocacy of groups of people concerned about the importance of CPR by laypeople to help policymakers at the local and national levels, the need for increased awareness and public concern about the aid CPR by the lay public through socialisation.
