Abstract

Stroke patients generally need a long recovery because most individuals undergoing hospital treatment experience disabilities in several parts of the body. Therefore, survivors need the help of other people to live daily life; this role is taken on by caregivers. Caregivers play a crucial role for stroke survivors during the process of long-term rehabilitation and must assume many responsibilities. For this reason, knowledge and skills are needed in caring for post-stroke patients at home. One of the efforts that can be done is through education and training for caregivers and health cadres. This community service activity aimed to enhance cadres’ and caregivers’ knowledge and skill in providing care for families after a stroke. The target population comprised 16 caregivers and seven cadres who supported the families. The results of the community service activities demonstrated an increase in caregivers' knowledge by 32.8 points following the training activities, with a p-value of 0.001 (<α= 0.05), indicating that the difference between the pre- and post-values is statistically significant. The results of observations of cadre and caregiver skills regarding post-stroke care at home include Range of Motion (ROM) exercises, assistance with daily activities, and training in communication in the moderate category. Cadres are expected to continue supporting families as caregivers to be able to care for post-stroke patients at home.

Abstract

Background of study: Sports injuries, particularly dislocations, are common among sports school students and may lead to serious complications if not treated promptly. However, students first aid knowledge and skills remain limited. This study aimed to determine the effect of First Aid Coaching on first aid skills for dislocations among students at a Sports Talent High School in Bengkulu City. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest– post-test control group approach. A total of 70 students (n=70) were selected using purposive sampling and divided into an intervention group (n=35) receiving First Aid Coaching and a control group (n=35) receiving leaflets. Data were collected using a knowledge questionnaire and a skills observation sheet and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Independent Samples t-test. Result: The results showed a significant difference in first aid skills between the two groups (p < 0.05). The mean posttest skill score in the intervention group was higher (M = 54.88) compared to the control group (M = 43.06), indicating a greater improvement following First Aid Coaching. Conclusion: In conclusion, First Aid Coaching is more effective than printed media in improving students’ first aid skills for dislocations. This method is recommended as an educational strategy to enhance students’ preparedness in managing sports injuries.
