THE EFFECT OF BASIC LIFE SUPPORT EDUCATION USING E-BOOKLET MEDIA ON STUDENTS KNOWLEDGE LEVEL AT MAN SIDOARJO

Abstract

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the leading cause of sudden death, which can be minimized by providing Basic Life Support (BLS) quickly and appropriately. Object: This study aims to determine the effect of BLS education using e-booklets on the knowledge level of 10th grade students at MAN Sidoarjo. Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 82 students selected using simple random sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: The results showed that before the education was provided, most students had insufficient knowledge (62.2%), and after the education was provided, there was a significant increase with 79.3% of students in the good knowledge category. The statistical test results showed a significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05), which means that there was a significant effect of BLS education through e-booklets on increasing student knowledge. Conclusion: E-booklets have proven to be an effective educational medium in improving students' knowledge of BLS. It is recommended that e-booklets be used more widely in BLS learning and training activities in schools to improve students' preparedness in dealing with emergencies.
