The Effect of Basic Life Support Training on the Knowledge and Skills of Adolescents

Basic life support (LBS) is a set of interventions aimed at restoring and maintaining vital organ functions in victims of cardiac and respiratory arrest. Knowledge and skills in doing LBS can be improved by training. This literature review was carried out to determine the effect of LBS training on increasing the knowledge and skills of adolescents in performing first aid in cases of cardiac or respiratory arrest. Articles published in 2010-2020 were found through Google Scholar and the Garuda portal. The results of the 5 articles that were reviewed showed significant changes in the knowledge and skills of adolescents before and after being given training. This suggests that LBS training can improve the level of knowledge and skills of adolescents in performing first aid in cases of cardiac or respiratory arrest.
