Abstract
Accidents might happen anywhere, anytime, and to anyone. Primary school education is a period when children get very active in interacting with other peers. The interaction during a game might cause a risk of injuries on primary school students. Children often ignore the health condition of each other during the interaction. They have yet to own the analytical ability to identify if their friends conceive dangerous diseases, such as congenital heart disease, asthma, or other diseases. Free game interactions among primary school students such as running during the break or physically-related games might increase the risk for accidents or injuries within the school environment. Teachers are the closest people when children are at school. Teachers are demanded to have knowledge and skills in providing the first aid for their students who possibly experience accidents, injuries, or dangerous conditions, such as stopped breathing and cardiac arrest, which might happen during the school hours. The required skills are splinter dressing and/or basic life support. This activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skill of primary school teachers in providing first aid and for them to be capable of performing the basic life support. Coaching and counselling of Basic Life Support as well as splinter dressing were the conducted method. The result acquired from this community service showed that the good level of knowledge before the first aid counselling activity was 19.5%, which increased to 90.2% after the counselling activity. This study concluded that the knowledge of Primary School Teachers in Depok District of Sleman-Yogyakarta regarding First Aid has increased.Keywords: Accidents, Aid, First, Primary, School, Training,

Summary
Kecelakaan di lingkungan Sekolah Dasar terkadang sering berdampak buruk pada penderita, khususnya anak-anak (Endiyono& Lutfiasari, 2016). Guru perlu memahami dan mampu memberikan pertolongan pertama pada anak ketika mengalami kecelakaan atau kondisi buruk di lingkungan sekolah (Setiani & Priyonoadi, 2015). Anak-anak Sekolah Dasar yang mungkin memiliki riwayat penyakit bawaan, kadang juga mudah lelah ketika beraktifitas, misalnya saat mengikuti kegiatan olah raga atau senam di sekolah, kondisi ini sering menimbulkan keadaan yang berbahaya bagi anak dengan karakter seperti tersebut (Setiani & Priyonoadi, 2015). Hasil studi awal yang dilakukan oleh tim pengabdi didapatkan bahwa guru-guru Sekolah Dasar se-Kecamatan Depok, belum pernah mendapatkan pelatihan tentang pertolongan pertama pada kecelakaan, khususnya tentang materi bantuan hidup dasar dan balut bidai. Atas dasar kondisi inilah maka penulis berserta PMI Depok Sleman melakukan kerjasama untuk memberikan pengabdian masyarakat berupa pendidikan kesehatan dan pelatihan pertolongan pertama pada kecelakaan dengan pendekatan materi keterampilan yang disampaikan. Pendidikan kesehatan adalah komponen penting dalam asuhan keperawatan, yang ditujukan pada kegiatan meningkatkan, mempertahankan dan memulihkan status kesehatan, mencegah penyakit, dan membantu menyiapkan individu maupun komunitas (masyarakat) untuk mengatasi dampak gejala sisa dari kondisi kesakitan yang dialami (Nursalam &Efendi, 2012)
