Abstract

Abstract. Medical emergencies are not limited to hospitals, roads, or public facilities but frequently arise within households and families. Typical emergencies in residential and nearby settings include physical injuries, loss of consciousness, toxic substance exposure, and open wounds. According to the 2019 poisoning case report, incidents of poisoning that transpire within residential settings constitute Indonesia's second most prevalent form of poisoning cases across diverse categories of poisoning incidents. The prevalence of emergency incidents in such households underscores the significance of leveraging alertness and caution. Furthermore, fast and accurate handling is also requisite. Acquiring knowledge of first aid within the community is imperative for effectively managing emergencies that may arise in a domestic setting. Acquiring emergency first aid knowledge is crucial for the community as unanticipated emergencies can occur indiscriminately and anywhere.

An intervention was implemented via community service at PCPM Ngaglik Sleman to address the issue mentioned earlier. The community service was being executed to impart knowledge on emergency management through a two-pronged strategy. The initial phase involved imparting knowledge on emergency medical care for conditions such as injuries, syncope, nosebleeds, toxic exposure, and open wounds. During the second phase, a Forum Group Discussion was conducted to simulate managing injuries, syncope, and open wounds. One or two instructors facilitated each group. The efficacy of education was evaluated by administering pre-test and post-test assessments utilizing the quizz.com platform. The simulation's efficacy was evaluated using a rubric to make observations.

The outcome of this community service initiative led to a noticeable augmentation in the participants' comprehension of emergency response procedures. The study observed that the average pre-test and post-test scores of the 26 participants increased. Additionally, the proportion of participants who demonstrated good knowledge increased from 11.5% to 50%. Furthermore, there was an observed improvement in the participants' ability to handle emergencies. In assessing this approach, it was imperative to incorporate the time duration for stage 2 activities, specifically the emergency handling simulation. Furthermore, the intended collaborators aspire for this undertaking to be conducted regularly.
