Abstract

Burn injuries are common in everyday life, especially among teenagers due to household and environmental activities. Teenagers' lack of knowledge and skills in self-administering first aid for burn injuries can potentially increase the risk of complications. This community service activity aims to empower teenagers through audiovisual health education on self-care for burn injuries. The implementation methods included interactive counseling, screening of educational audiovisual media, group discussions, and simple demonstrations on the principles of first aid and self-care for minor burns. The activity was carried out among a group of teenagers in the GBI Rahayu neighborhood in Kediri, with an evaluation of their understanding through questions and answers and feedback in the form of practical steps for burn care. The results of the activity showed an increase in understanding of the causes of burns, appropriate initial treatment steps, and mistakes to avoid, as well as an increase in self-care skills for burns among these young people. Audiovisual-based education proved to be effective in increasing active participant involvement. It was concluded that empowering young people through audiovisual-based health education effectively improves their ability to self-care for burns and supports healthy and safe living behaviors.
