Effect of Personal Health Education on the Knowledge of Pramuka Student Members at SMA Pencawan Medan

Abstract

First aid is intended to provide the victim with temporary relief as soon as possible, accurately, and with the goal of preserving life, lowering the number of victims with disabilities, and giving the victim a sense of security and comfort before more qualified medical assistance is obtained. Students at SMA Pencawan who were Scout members did not know about first aid since they had never been taught about it in health education, according to a preliminary survey. The study's goal is to ascertain how first aid health education affects students' and scouts' first aid knowledge at SMA Pencawan Medan. Thirty scouts made up the study's population. Total sampling, in which the number of samples is equal to the population, is the sampling strategy used in this investigation. A one-group pre-post test design is used in the pre-experiment research design. SAP and questionnaires are used in the data collection tool. Wilcoxon test data analysis yielded pretest values of 14,17 and posttest values of 26,40 with p value = 0,000 (p <0,05). This study suggests that health education has an impact on the knowledge of Scout members' students at SMA Pencawan Medan. In order to address incidents of injuries in the school and community setting, it is hoped that the school will ask the student members to participate in administering first aid.
