First Aid Training for Elementary School Teachers at SD Genta Saraswati Gianyar

SD Genta Saraswati is a private elementary school located in the center of Gianyar City. Based on initial interviews, it was stated that teachers encountered many student conditions that required immediate treatment, such as sprains, wounds, stomach aches, fevers, nosebleeds, and other conditions. For this condition, teachers have provided simple treatment, but there is still minimal understanding and skills in providing first aid for children's accidents at school. The aim of this community service activity is to empower partners in providing first aid for children's accidents at school. The method of implementing the program is carried out through socialization, training, assistance with first aid equipment, mentoring, and evaluation of activity results by fully involving partners. This program involved 16 participants, consisting of teachers and staff at SD Genta Saraswati. After delivering the program, participants' knowledge increased, which can be seen from the increase in the average pre-test score from 6.56 to 9.06 (p<0.05). After carrying out practical training in providing basic life support and first aid in accidents, it was also seen that the participants were able to practice how to provide first aid in accidents that occurred at school. By carrying out this activity, it is hoped that teachers and staff at SD Genta Saraswati will be able to provide first aid independently for accidents or illnesses that occur at school.
