Syncope or fainting is a common clinical problem in children and adolescents, as many as 15% of children experience at least one episode before the end of adolescence. The purpose of this community service is to provide HIPOS (Hydration, Positioning, & Stress Management) Training with the 3E Method (Explain, Example, Experience) on Syncope First Aid Skills given to PMR Members at SMKN 1 Ngasem. The training was carried out for 2 days. The first day consisted of providing training to selected PMR cadres. On the 2nd day, PMR cadres provided training to all PMR members at SMKN 1 Ngasem and also evaluated their ability to perform syncope first aid. The results of the pre-test and post-test showed a significant increase in ability, namely during the pre-test almost all (76.7%) had sufficient ability and after the post-test almost all had good ability (83.3%). It can be concluded that HIPOS (Hydration, Positioning, & Stress Management) training using the 3E method (Explain, Example, Experience) can improve First Aid Skills for Syncope among Red Cross (Red Cross) members at SMKN 1 Ngasem.

This research aims to comprehensively describe and understand the utilization of the SINKARKES system (Ship and Health Information System) in the issuance of the Ship Sanitation Control Exemption Certificate (SSCEC) and the First Aid for Accidents (P3K) Certificate for vessels managed by PT. Surya Samudera Indah Batam. Compliance with ship sanitation and health standards is a mandatory prerequisite for preventing disease spread and ensuring occupational safety in accordance with prevailing regulations. The research methodology employed is field research (field research) to observe direct operational procedures in the field, supplemented by literature review (library research) to strengthen the theoretical and regulatory foundations of the Ministry of Health. The findings indicate that the process of issuing the certificates through SINKARKES begins with agent login access to the official application (sinakarkes.kemkes.go.id) using a registered company account. Subsequently, the agent submits an application for SSCEC and P3K issuance, followed by the completion of data and the uploading of mandatory supporting documents. These documents include the Maritime Health Declaration (MDH), previous SSCC/SSCEC certificates, the P3K certificate, crew list, voyage memo, and the list of last ports of call. Once the documents are verified, the Special Health Quarantine Officer (KarKessus) proceeds to conduct a physical survey onboard the vessel. The main obstacle encountered is poor internet network connectivity in the port area, which often leads to data input failures and double entry errors during certificate printing.

First aid in emergencies is an essential skill that must be possessed by nursing students as prospective health workers. Educational media in the form of practical guidebooks is believed to be able to improve students' knowledge and skills, but their effectiveness needs to be proven empirically. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the educational media of the Emergency First Aid Guide in improving the knowledge and skills of Basic Life Assistance (BHD) for nursing students. The research design used was pre-experimental with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The research sample consisted of nursing students selected through purposive sampling techniques. The research instruments include a knowledge questionnaire and a BHD skill observation sheet. Data analysis was carried out by the normality test and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant improvement in respondents' knowledge from an average of M: 12; SD ± 2.52 to M: 17; SD ± 1.55 (Z = -7.789; p = 0.00), as well as an improvement in BHD skills from M: 83; SD ± 9 to M: 99; SD ± 10.2 (Z = -7.789; p = 0.00). These findings show that educational media in the form of handbooks is effective in improving the ability of nursing students to deal with emergency situations. This media can be used as an alternative strategy in emergency nursing learning to support students' clinical readiness.

Choking is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among children, particularly those aged 3 years or younger. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2011, there were approximately 17,537 reported cases of choking, with the majority of these incidents occurring in children aged between 12 to 36 months. In 2013, about 34 children per day were taken to emergency departments due to choking (Pendigrot et al., 2019). Furthermore, in Indonesia, it was reported that around 10% of the 430 infant deaths were caused by choking during breastfeeding (Suartini & Kusniawati, 2020). Given this, the need for effective first aid knowledge, especially among mothers of young children, becomes imperative. This community service activity aimed to empower 27 mothers with toddlers in the village of Bangun Rejo, Tanjung Morawa, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, on the essential skills for performing first aid in cases of choking. The program was structured in three phases: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. During the implementation, the participants received theoretical lectures, live demonstrations, and informational leaflets on how to perform first aid for choking. Following the training, an evaluation was conducted to assess the mothers' proficiency in performing the procedure. The results showed a promising outcome, with 19 mothers (70.3%) becoming proficient in first aid for choking, while 8 mothers (29.7%) still lacked the necessary skills despite the training. This outcome highlights the importance of continuous education and practice for parents, especially mothers, to ensure that they can act quickly and effectively in emergency situations. This activity is expected to equip mothers with the skills needed to perform first aid for choking as an immediate response before seeking medical assistance, ultimately helping to reduce the risks associated with choking incidents.

Indonesia is a country with a high disaster risk, particularly earthquakes. Schools play a strategic role in enhancing students' preparedness for disasters. This study aims to determine the effect of splint bandage simulation training on earthquake preparedness at SMAN 1 Kasihan Bantul. This quantitative study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 90 tenth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a preparedness questionnaire administered before and after the training, analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed an increase in preparedness from the "less prepared" category to "prepared" and "very prepared" after the training, with a significance value of 0.000. In conclusion, splint bandage simulation training significantly improves students’ earthquake preparedness. Future research is suggested to use animated videos as a more interactive intervention method.

Emergencies can occur if febrile seizures are not treated promptly. Trained mothers will be able to provide first aid to children. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of health education using video media on mothers knowledge in handling febrile seizures emergencies in toddlers. This research  using pre experimental designs. The sample was 16 respondents using accidental sampling technique. Data collection by distributing questionnaires, then processed using the McNemar statistical test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Before being given health education using video media 56.3% of respondents had poor knowledge after being given health education 87.5% of respondents had good knowledge. The McNemar test results obtained a p-value of 0.016, meaning that there is an effect of health education using video media on mothers knowledge.
