Abstract

Many emergency situations require immediate first aid. The community plays a crucial role in saving victims of cardiac arrest or traffic accidents, which are among the leading causes of premature death in Indonesia. Unfortunately, the level of public knowledge and preparedness in providing first aid remains low, highlighting the need for improvement through education and training. Community health cadres were chosen as the target group because they are closely connected to the community, easily accessible, and can act as first responders before professional medical personnel arrive. This study aimed to enhance the knowledge and readiness of community cadres in recognizing and providing effective first aid through CPR and first aid training in Pangandaran Village. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used, involving 33 participants selected through accidental sampling. Data analysis was conducted using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the cadres’ knowledge and preparedness after the training. Based on these findings, it is recommended that similar training programs be conducted regularly by health institutions and community organizations to strengthen the capacity of cadres in providing first aid, thereby increasing the survival rate of victims of accidents and cardiac arrest within the community.Keywords: Accident, cardiac aArrest, knowledge, preparedness.

Abstract

Sports accidents can have a very significant impact on various aspects of life. However, public knowledge regarding this still needs to be improved and uneven, so it is essential to disseminate information related to preventing and handling sports accidents. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education on public knowledge in the prevention and early handling of sports accidents. This study was a pre-experimental study with a one-group pre-post-test approach. The research sample consisted of 230 respondents and was conducted using an accidental sampling technique. Data analysis was done by looking at the difference in pre-test and post-test values using the Wilcoxon difference test. The results of the study showed that before health education was given, the average value of respondents' knowledge was 59.30 ± 26.21.Meanwhile, after being given health education, the average score increased to 84.87 ± 20.27. Bivariate analysis showed a statistically significant difference with a p-value <0.001. This shows a difference in public knowledge about sports accidents before and after being given health education. There is a need for activities like this to be carried out in other communities and society in general so that the dissemination of information and public understanding related to sports accidents will improve and the impact of delays in handling injuries can be minimized. Keywords: Health education; knowledge; sports accidents.
