INTRODUCTION
Burn injuries remain a significant health
issue worldwide (Herlianita et al., 2020).
The prevalence of burn injuries globally
remains high, evidenced by an annual death
toll of approximately 180,000 victims. Burn
incidents are most prevalent in low- to
middle-income countries (WHO, 2018).
From 1990 to 2019, an estimated 117 million
cases of burn injuries occurred in Asia, with
the highest number of cases in South and
Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, there has
been a 35% increase in burn incidents from
2014 to 2018. Burn incidents in Indonesia
from 2013 to 2015 showed that 68.8% of
cases occurred in individuals over 18 years
of age, and 82.3% of cases involved the non-
working population. The leading cause of

Burn injuries are a global health concern, particularly in
households. Inadequate management can result in higher
mortality and disability rates. Thus, video-based health education
plays a vital role. This study examined the influence of video
education on family knowledge and first aid actions for burns. This
quantitative study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-
group pre-test and post-test approach. The population consisted
of families with a history of burn injuries within their households.
The sample comprised 20 respondents selected through
consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using a
knowledge questionnaire and an observation sheet for assessing
burn first aid, which underwent validity and reliability testing.
Respondents' age, education level, and occupation were
presented univariately using a frequency table, followed by
bivariate analysis utilizing the Wilcoxon test. The research findings
revealed that the majority of respondents were aged 18-35 years
(55%), with the most common occupation being housewives (55%),
and the majority had a high school education (50%). The median
pre-test knowledge score was 8, while the post-test knowledge
score was 17. The median pre-test burn first aid action score was 3,
while the post-test score was 8.5. The Wilcoxon test yielded a
significant p-value of 0.000 for knowledge and burn first aid
actions before and after video-based health education. In
conclusion, video-based health education significantly impacts
family knowledge and actions in burn first aid. The researchers
recommend families acquire necessary skills to effectively manage
burn injuries and prevent complications.
