Abstract

Emergency patients require rapid and appropriate care, as delays can increase the risk of disability or death. Healthcare workers' knowledge of Basic Life Support (BLS) is a crucial competency for initial emergency care, while response time serves as a key quality indicator in the Emergency Department (ED). This study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses' and midwives' knowledge of BLS and the response time for emergency patient care at the UII Pandak Bantul Hospital ED. This was a quantitative, non-experimental study employing a descriptive-correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 18 nurses and midwives, with a sample of 14 respondents selected via total sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. BLS knowledge was assessed using a questionnaire, while response time was measured using an observation sheet. The relationship between the two variables was analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed a mean BLS knowledge score of 91.00 among the nurses and midwives. Nine respondents (64.3%) demonstrated a fast response time (≤5 minutes), while five respondents (35.7%) showed a slow response time (>5 minutes). The Spearman Rank test yielded a correlation coefficient (rₛ) of 0.348 with a p-value of 0.222. A p-value >0.05 indicates no significant relationship between the nurses' and midwives' knowledge of BLS and the response time for emergency patient care at the UII Pandak Bantul Hospital ED. Future researchers are advised to investigate other factors that may influence response time.
