The effect of basic life support guideline 2020 socialization on daily emergency management

ABSTRACT

Basic Life Support (BLS) or in Indonesian known as Basic Life Support (BHD) is an effort made to maintain life when a patient or victim experiences a life-threatening condition. Abroad BLS/BHD has actually been taught a lot to ordinary people or special lay people, but it seems that this is still very rarely known by the people of Indonesia. This study aims to determine the influence of the socialization of the Basic Life Support Guideline 2020 in handling daily emergencies during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Sidoarjo BPBD Rapid Response Unit team. This research method is a quasi-experimental design. The experimental design used in this study used a one group pre and posttest design. The data collection technique in this study was a test in the form of questions. The sample in this study was taken by simple random sampling technique. The data collection method uses primary data, by providing online learning through google classroom, then looking at student learning outcomes. Data analysis used statistical test T-Test with=0.05. Basic Life Support can run well if all elements are carried out thoroughly, therefore it is necessary to have clear roles, duties and responsibilities from the management to support success in handling daily emergencies during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Rapid Response Unit team. © 2023 Author(s).
