Abstract
Background: Basic Life Support (BLS) or commonly known as emergency first aid (PPGD) is an integrated basic health theory that is intended for the society when facing emergencies wherever and whenever they are. The lack of society awareness about this knowledge can be the reason for the big number of accidents and disasters that cause many fatalities. The amount of urgency of this material to be conveyed to the community triggered the Gadingwatu Village team KKN-BBM Period 66 to design activities in the form of socialization and workshops to disseminate information and develop community skills related to BLS in the form of classical lectures and practice demos presented by a professional medical student from RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya who is a member of an organization named KPLA FK Unair. Methods: This activity used the classical lecture method in delivering BLS material, which is a strategy of providing material delivered by someone or several presenters followed by a number of audiences as recipients of material or information and collected in the same location and continued with BLS demonstrations practiced directly by the speaker. Result and Discussion: This work program was successfully held on Sunday, 31 July 2022 at the Gadingwatu Village Hall, Menganti District, Gresik Regency with a total of 23 participants, and most of them are from Gadingwatu Village Youth Organization. Conclusion: Socialization and workshops related to BLS are needed by the community to improve community understanding and skills about steps in dealing with emergency situations.
