Abstract

The limited means of transportation becomes a problem in conducting pre-hospitalization, especially in Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta. The mileage that reaches 39 km from the center of Yogyakarta can increase the patient's risk of experiencing multiple trauma. The ambulance driver is the officer responsible for operating the ambulance and providing basic life support in handling cases of cardiac arrest during the transportation process. The purpose of this program is to improve pre-hospitalization transportation skills in handling first aid in an effort to prevent death. The methods of this community service include health counseling, mentoring, and training. Basic life support training has been proven to improve the knowledge and skills of village ambulance drivers so that it can be used as a provision for pre-hospitalization in providing health services to prevent death and unwanted complications.
