Abstract
- This theoretical paper explores how cultural and informal social norms influence attitudes toward cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) across diverse communities. Despite the global recognition of CPR as a life saving intervention, its acceptance and actual implementation by laypersons are uneven across different cultural contexts. This study draws from sociological, anthropological, and behavioral health theories to critically examine how informal beliefs, cultural taboos, community narratives, and social conditioning intersect with individuals’ decision making in emergency scenarios. By integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior, Social Norms Theory, and Cultural Relativism, the paper offers a conceptual framework to understand why communities differ in their CPR attitudes and responses. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for culturally adaptive CPR education and the importance of embedding informal community mechanisms into formal health outreach strategies.
