Introduction: Burns are one of the most common types of injuries that occur in everyday life, whether at home, at work, or in our surroundings. Proper management of burns can help reduce pain, prevent infection, and promote faster healing. Burns that are not properly and promptly managed due to a lack of public knowledge can lead to various complications such as infection, shock, electrolyte imbalance, and severe psychological trauma due to scars from burn injuries.
Objective: This community service initiative aims to enhance public knowledge regarding first aid for burns.
Method:The method used in this community service program involves providing health education through lectures, discussions, and demonstrations on first aid for burns. The community service program was conducted on May 5, 2025. The target audience was the community in Wonokriyo Village.
Result:After receiving education, there was a significant improvement, with 50% of respondents achieving a very good level of knowledge, 25% good, 12.5% adequate, and 12.5% insufficient. These results indicate that the educational intervention was effective in enhancing the community's understanding of burn wound management.
Conclusion: The community service program titled “Improving Knowledge About First Aid for Burns at Home for the Community of Wonokriyo Village” has successfully enhanced the community's understanding and skills in managing burns independently and appropriately.
Community Implication: This education program has successfully improved the community's ability to provide first aid for burns, reduce the risk of complications, and encourage more effective self-management at the family level.
