Abstract

Background: Basic Life Support (BLS) knowledge is essential, particularly for public transport drivers who frequently encounter medical emergencies. Adequate education on BLS can enhance their preparedness in responding to such situations.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the level of knowledge among public transport drivers in Medan City regarding BLS before and after an educational intervention

Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 521 public transportation drivers in Medan City, divided into four groups: angkot drivers (125), online motorcycle taxi drivers (201), motorized rickshaw drivers (125), and rental car drivers (50). Data were collected using a structured questionnaire containing items assessing basic knowledge of Basic Life Support (BLS), administered both before and after an educational intervention. Data were analyzed descriptively to summarize respondent characteristics, and paired t-tests and Chi-Square tests were used to assess statistical differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention and between driver groups.

Results: The majority of participants were male (n = 451, 86.56%), with the most common age range being 31–40 years (n = 250, 47.98%). Most respondents had completed junior high school (n = 251, 47.98%), and the largest driver category was online motorcycle taxi drivers (n = 201, 38.57%). The initial assessment indicated that most participants had a limited understanding of BLS. However, post-intervention analysis demonstrated a statistically significant improvement, with the majority achieving higher knowledge scores in the posttest.

Conclusion: Educational interventions on Basic Life Support significantly enhance the knowledge levels of public transport drivers in Medan City, as evidenced by the substantial difference between pretest and posttest scores.
