<![CDATA[Injuries are common incidents among adolescents in school settings, highlighting the need for adequate first aid knowledge to prevent complications and ensure appropriate initial management. One strategy to improve students' knowledge is through wound care education using audio-visual media. This study aimed to analyze the effect of audio-visual-based wound care education on first aid knowledge among students at SMPN 4 Belinyu. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample was selected using a total sampling technique based on predetermined inclusion criteria. The research procedure included measuring participants' knowledge before the intervention (pretest), providing audio-visual-based wound care education, and reassessing knowledge after the intervention (posttest). Data were analyzed using an appropriate statistical test to compare knowledge scores before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students' first aid knowledge following the audio-visual-based educational intervention, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). Therefore, audio-visual-based wound care education is effective in improving first aid knowledge among junior high school students and can be considered an effective health education strategy in school settings.]]>
