Abstract

Background: Burns are a form of trauma that occurs as a result of human activities in the
household, industry, traffic accidents, and natural disasters. There are people's habits that are
not appropriate in handling first aid in cases of burns. It can be seen that the incidence of burns
in the community is still quite high and the level of public knowledge about first aid for burns is
still low. It is important to do health education to increase knowledge of the dangers of burns and
first aid in accidents. Objective: The aim of this health education is to increase knowledge about
burns and the ability to manage first aid in burn injuries. Sample: The target of this health
education activity is the general public, especially risk groups, which are held online. Method;
The method used in health education is lecture and question and answer. Results: Realization
of solutions to prevent and provide appropriate care for burns independently at home can be
done by providing health education regarding burn prevention and self-care at home after
hospitalization so as not to exacerbate the condition of burns. This effort is one of the efforts to
provide education to add insight and build public awareness regarding personal health, namely
preventing burns and carrying out post-hospitalization independent care at home. Conclusion:
Health education activities are one of the efforts to provide education to add insight and build
awareness of personal health related to preventing burns and carrying out independent care after
hospitalization at home.
