Abstract :
ABSTRACT
Cardiac arrest incidents have a very low survival rate but are often encountered in
public and crowded places which are usually called Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest
(OHCA). In this regard, police members, specifically members of the Ditsabhara
Polda Jatim, whose duties are mostly in the community, must know and be ready
to administer basic life support as a step in handling emergencies until medical
assistance arrives.
The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between knowledge and
the readiness of members of the Ditsabhara Polda Jatim to implement basic life
support in the event of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA). The design of this
research is quantitative research with a cross sectional approach, using a sample of
134 people with purposive sampling. The data collection technique uses a google
form by filling out a questionnaire on knowledge and readiness for basic life support
management.
The results of this research indicate that the better knowledge a person has about
basic life support, the more prepared the person will be in carrying out basic life
support. The Pearson Correlation Test shows that there is a relationship between
knowledge of basic life support and readiness to implement basic life support ? =
0.003 (?< ? = 0.05).
The conclusion of this research is that there is a relationship between knowledge
and readiness to carry out basic life support in cases of Out of Hospital Cardiac
Arrest (OHCA), so it is hoped that basic life support training can be provided to
members of the public service, especially members of the Ditsabhara Polda Jatim.
