Introduction: The global injury death rate is 1.2 million in the world. Airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure can be used for all emergencies with a systematic approach for critical and injured patients. However, not many people understand and are not skilled in doing initial aid handling injured patients. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the ability in the initial treatment of injured patients with the airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure approach to the community.
Methods: This study used an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population is all ordinary people, with a sample size of 110 people taken by simple random sampling. The independent variables are the factors that affect the ability, namely age, education, and experience factors. The dependent variable is ability. Data analysis used linear regression p-value = 0.001.
Results: Research shows that age, gender, and knowledge affect the ability to handle injured patients, so all factors have a significant effect on ability. In general, research was conducted to analyze the factors that affect the skill level in handling injured patients with the airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure approach to the community. The airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure approach proves an ability in the initial treatment of injured patients.
Conclusion: The factors of age, gender, and knowledge affect the ability to handle injured patients. Following that, the BLS guideline 2020 effectively improves the ability for daily emergency management. For health workers, this method is very helpful in reducing morbidity and mortality.
