IMPROVEMENT OF ABILITY TO APPLY FOR PMR MEMBERS AT SMAN 1 BANGSAL THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF SIMULATIONBASIC AIRWAY MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Airway obstruction is an emergency condition due to airway obstruction that can cause ventilation disorders to death. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of basic airway management  simulation on  the ability to apply to PMR members at SMAN 1 Bangsal. This study uses a pre-experimental  design with a one-group pretest-posttest  approach with a population of 50 PMR members and a sample of 45 respondents using total sampling. The research variables include simulation of basic airway management and ability to apply. Data was collected using SOPs and observation sheets, then analyzed using the Wilcoxon Rank Test. The results showed that 43 respondents (95.56%) experienced an increase in ability to apply. The Wilcoxon Rank Test shows  an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value = 0.000 (<0.05), so H0 is subtracted. Basic airway management  simulation has a significant effect on increasing  the ability to apply PMR members in handling choking cases according to procedures.
