One of the factors that influence knowledge is age where in this study the average age of respondents was 14-17 years so that their age was classified as an age that easily remembered and understood an object, this was in line with research (Roy Wilson, 2. which stated that the average - an average age of 14-18 years is an age that is still easy to remember or understand. According to WHO, the age of 14-17 years is classified as middle adolescence, where at the stage of thinking skills, physical growth is experiencing growth and The older a person eats, the more they will understand new things that are happening and will affect their mindset. Based on research conducted by researchers, it was found that most PMR members came from science majors, this is in line with research conducted by (Mentari, et al 2. explaining that PMR members from science majors received a lot of biology learning material compared to social studies majors , because through PMR extracurricular activities, many of the materials obtained are related to biology subjects such as the structure of the human body so that it becomes one of the factors to increase mastery of the material. Therefore. PMR is more interested in students majoring in science. Knowledge is the result of knowing after someone senses an object, most of human knowledge is obtained through the eyes and ears (Hendrawan et al. , 2019. Indramukti, 2013. Sulistiyanti & Andarwati, 2. Knowledge is influenced by several factors, namely age, education, experience, and information. Knowledge is said to be good in the category of understanding, because understanding is defined as the ability to correctly explain a material or object that is already known. Good knowledge greatly influences fast and precise handling. Good knowledge can be obtained from books as well as from the internet. While respondents with sufficient knowledge category because respondents did not understand about syncope and the impact of syncope incidents. Skills are skills to be able to do a job. Skills are influenced by several factors, namely motivation, experience, and expertise. Knowledge and skills during training are very important, therefore the importance of motivation that comes from within to provide encouragement to take the desired action. Skills in providing correct and fast first aid can save lives and prevent worsening conditions (Hanifa, 2022. Prasetyo et al. Triwidiyantari & Sari, 2021. Welembuntu et al. , 2. From the results of the research, it was found that many PMR members had the ability to perform unfavorable actions in first aid for syncope and minor The act of helping is an attitude that needs to be developed because it greatly influences the way in providing first aid.

No 2, pp 90-96 2023 ABDIGERMAS JENTIK The Influence of Health Education on Knowledge and Skills of PMR Members About First Aid in Synccope A. When conducting research on PMR members at SMA Negeri 9 Bengkulu City, totaling 25 people before the intervention was carried out, it was found that the characteristics of the respondents had sufficient knowledge . %) on syncope and lacking skills . %) on first aid for syncope. In theory, knowledge is the result of knowing what happens after sensing an object. Based on the results of the research conducted by the researchers, it was shown that the level of knowledge about syncope was in the sufficient category because some students already knew the meaning, signs and symptoms, and the causal factors of syncope, but the skills were in the less category. On the observation sheet for syncope, the average respondent only performed two of the seven actions listed on the observation sheet, such as paying attention to the victim's breathing and pulse and loosening tight clothing. In the study of minor injuries, the results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge of minor injuries . %) and lack of skills . %) in action. The researcher revealed that most of the respondents had good knowledge about minor injuries and only a few respondents had sufficient knowledge, some respondents who were in the moderate category argued in question numbers 4 and 5 that wounds could be covered using tissue or cotton and the wound would heal without needing treatment. The wound should not be covered with cotton or tissue because cotton or tissue has fine powders that can stick to the wound which will later slow down the wound healing process and wounds that are not treated will cause infection, therefore the goal of wound care is to prevent the wound from becoming worse. The skills regarding wound care actions are in the sufficient category because PMR members lack experience in carrying out actions in wound care. The level of knowledge and skills of PMR members after the health education intervention was carried out after the intervention was given health education about first aid for syncope and minor injuries, the result was that knowledge and skills increased. Respondents had good knowledge . %) on syncope and good skills . %) on first aid for syncope and minor injuries. Respondents' knowledge and skills about injuries and procedures were in the good category . %). The results of this study are also in line with research (Ramadhanti, 2. which states that there are differences in knowledge and skills after being given health education using a simulation method of first aid for syncope. Student knowledge of first aid for injuries after being given basic training according to research (Rohyat et al, 2. shows students' knowledge and skills are in the good category. The results of this study are in line with research Kundre & Mulyadi . regarding the effect of health education and simulation on first aid knowledge and skills in students who experience syncope at SMA 7 Manado. The results of this study indicate that there is an effect of health education and simulation on knowledge and From the results of the research, the researcher states that education greatly influences the formation of good student knowledge and skills. The results of this study are also in line with research Febrina et al . which states that someone who has knowledge has better abilities compared to someone who only provides first aid without any knowledge, but this research also says that if knowledge is practiced in the field, then the first aid given will be better, compared to someone who only has knowledge without training in the field. The level of knowledge and skills is influenced by age, sources of information and students' experience of first aid. Knowledge is influenced by education and experience is a way of repeating the knowledge gained. Thus, first aid health education is very well done in the school environment. Health education regarding first aid for syncope and minor injuries at SMA Negeri 9 Bengkulu City was found to be able to increase knowledge and skills in performing first aid. The results obtained show that there is an influence of health education in providing first aid for syncope and minor injuries in the school environment. Conclusion The results of the activities provided are very useful so that students can increase their knowledge and skills about first aid for syncope and minor injuries. Continuous programs must still be carried out for guidance in schools in Bengkulu City. Acknowledgement The plan for the next stage is still to coordinate in monitoring the development of first aid emergency alert schools and there is an ongoing program in an MoU between LPPM University of Bengkulu and PMR members of SMAN 9 Bengkulu City.
