The Effect of Theory of Planned Behavior Models to Behavior of Cadres as the First Aiders of Stroke Attacks

Identification of stroke patients as early as possible is very important, this can help improve prehospital management and the accuracy of treatment. Public awareness can contribute to increasing the speed of arrival at the hospital after the attack.

to analyze the effect of model-based on the theory of planned behavior training on knowledge, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, intention and behavior of cadres as the first aider in identifying stroke.

This study uses the true experimental method pre and post test control group design. This study included one experimental group (22 health cadres) and one control group (22 health cadres). Sampling uses simple random sampling. Training based on the model theory of planned behavior is carried out for 5 sessions. Data collection was conducted twice, namely before training, 1 week after training and measuring behavior 1 month after training.

Training based on the model of the theory of planned behavior affects knowledge (0, 000 < 0, 05), attitudes (0, 006 < 0, 05), perceived behavioral control (0, 000 < 0, 05), intention (0, 007 < 0, 05) and behavior (0, 000 < 0, 05). Training does not affect subjective norms (0.057 > 0.05). Differences in the two groups only occurred in the variables perceived behavioral control (0.002 < 0.05) and behavior (0.000 < 0.05).

Continuous training is very important in improving cadre behavior in carrying out its role, namely the ability to identify and respond to stroke quickly. This is expected to support the success of the prehospital care system in the community.
