Abstract

Introduction: Unpreparedness in providing first aid for traffic accidents is often found among nursing students undergoing fieldwork practice in hospitals. The results of observations during the Clinical Field Practice period from October to November 2025 revealed that some students were reluctant to provide first aid to traffic accident victims. Factors related to the readiness of nursing students to provide first aid to traffic accident victims are not yet known. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors related to nursing students' readiness to provide first aid to traffic accident victims. Methods: This research is quantitative, with a correlational analytical design and a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study consisted of nursing profession students from Universitas Muhammadiyah Lamongan, Universitas Muhammadiyah Gresik, and Universitas Gresik, as well as final semester D-III nursing students from Universitas Airlangga, totaling 162 individuals. The sampling technique used in this study was stratified random sampling based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis consisted of univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: Almost all respondents fell into the ready category, with a total of 156 people (96.3%). Factors related to nursing students' readiness to provide first aid in accidents include training, knowledge, attitude, and motivation, as evidenced by a p-value < 0.05. Conclusions: Training, knowledge, attitude, and motivation have a significant relationship with the readiness of nursing students to provide first aid to traffic accident victims. Training was identified as the factor with the strongest relationship.
