This scoping review protocol aims to map and synthesize existing evidence on how family members’ readiness to perform bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is conceptualized, measured, and influenced in prehospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) settings. Guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and reported using PRISMA-ScR, the review will include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies involving family members, caregivers, household members, laypersons, community members, or lay bystanders. The review will examine readiness-related constructs such as willingness, intention, confidence, self-efficacy, preparedness, knowledge, skills, attitudes, perceptions, psychological readiness, barriers, and facilitators. Searches will be conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, ProQuest, EBSCOhost, ScienceDirect, and GARUDA, with findings synthesized descriptively and narratively to clarify the concept of readiness, identify measurement approaches, and map factors that may support future CPR education and family-centered intervention development.
