Hubungan Tingkat Pengetahuan Pertolongan Pertama Pada Layperson Usia Anak Sekolah Terhadap Efikasi Diri Dalam Penanganan Kasus Cedera : a Systematic Review

Injuries are a serious problem that affects approximately 4.7 million people. The injury rate in Indonesia reached 9.2%, with children included as a vulnerable group. This is related to unsafe environmental conditions and low ability to perform first aid measures. Being able to conduct appropriate action requires courage and self-confidence. One crucial aspect that affects self-efficacy is individual knowledge. Objective: To analyze the correlation between first aid knowledge in school children and self-efficacy in injury management using a systematic review. The research uses two electronic databases: PubMed and Google Scholar and follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta Analyzes) protocol with publications ranging from the years 2010-2020 using seven articles that fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: The self-efficacy and the knowledge level of school children about first aid are still low. This relates to the school-age, which is still in the development stage of cognitive and emotional abilities. Furthermore, school children tend to have no previous experience in handling injuries. Conclusion: Thus, efforts are needed to increase self-confidence and knowledge of school-aged laypersons, which can be initiated by health workers. Information obtained from health workers is proven to increase self-efficacy better than other parties. Efforts must be made by considering the methods and media adaptable to this age responsiveness, to increase the number of school-aged laypersons in Indonesia.
