Description
Heart attacks can occur without a predictable time or place of occurrence. Delays in administering first aid risk threatening the
safety and even disability and claiming lives. Practicing the provision of basic life support for ordinary people is suspected to
prevent the worsening of the condition of heart attack sufferers. This study aims to determine the effect of basic life support
training on the motivation, knowledge, and skills of trainees in providing first aid when cases of cardiac arrest occur in the
community. The design of the pre-experimental pretest-posttest one group is used to compare the motivation, knowledge, and
skills of the people in Lahat City, South Sumatera Province, Indonesia before and after training. The participants numbered
86 people, determined by the purposive sampling technique. Questionnaire data collection instruments and observation
sheets, motivational questionnaires were adopted from MQ John Smith 2017, while knowledge and skills questionnaires were
compiled concerning Basic Life Support (BLS) literature. Basic life support training intervention is carried out as many as four
sessions within a period of 3 months. Based on the analysis of the results obtained from abnormal data, the test conducted
by the Wilcoxon Test is known to have a significant increase in the variables of knowledge, skills, and skills. Respondents’
motivation after training, is directed with sequential p-values namely BLS to motivation (p = 0.033), skills (p = 0.001), and
knowledge (p=0.000). Conclusion: Basic life support training effectively improves community readiness to provide first aid
to heart attack victims. This program must be disseminated until a basic life support community is formed on standby in the
community.
