Abstract

An emergency is a dangerous situation that occurs unexpectedly and requires quick action. The implementation of basic life support that is appropriate and in accordance with procedures can increase the chances of survival in emergency patients such as in cases of cardiac arrest. Basic life support allows the heart and lungs to function properly, maintain blood supply to the brain, and prevent permanent brain damage due to lack of oxygen. Self-efficacy is a individual's belief in their ability to solve a problem that can support the success of basic life support actions. This study aims to determine the description of self-efficacy in providing basic life support among village ambulance drivers in Jember Regency. This research design uses a statistic descriptive method with cross sectional approach on 71 respondents selected by cluster sampling with Resuscitation Self Efficacy Scale (RSES) instrument and data analyzed using frequency distribution.
