Abstract

Abstract. Household accidents are a kind of accident that occurs at home, which is still becoming a worldwide health issue. Falls, electrical dangers, fires/burns, tripping hazards, slips, chemical poisoning, and choking hazards are the most common causes of these accidents. Unfortunately, awareness of prevention and first aid for victims is still low due to the lack of information that the community obtains. Therefore, the purpose of this community service was to increase the community's knowledge of handling household accidents. The activity was carried out through socialization with pre-test and post-test. The participants were 24 members of a woman group ‘Aisyiyah Ranting Nogotirto on March 15, 2023. The average score from the pre-test was 65.4, and the post-test was 81.25. Thus, this community service through socialization and demonstration can increase the community's knowledge.
