Abstract

Hypothermia is a common condition in the mountain and is very dangerous problem due to an unnatural decrease in body temperature caused by long and humid exposure to cold temperatures. Lack of climbing knowledge causes climbers not to be able to perform proper assistance hence it can be risky for a climber. First aid for hypothermia is the basic and foremost skill to have for Nature Lover Students to prevent the adverse effects of hypothermia. This study aims to describe the level of knowledge about the first aid for hypothermia. This study used a descriptive method and the study subjects consisted of 57 members of Student Mountaineering Club. The data collection method used a questionnaire, then it was processed and analyzed based on percentage. The data results of 57 participants showed that 10 participants (17.5%) had good knowledge, 26 participants (45.6%) had moderate knowledge and 21 participants (36.8%) had poor knowledge. The knowledge level results from the age of 20-25 years showed that 9 participants (18%) had good knowledge. The knowledge level results based on the length of the membership who have been participated more than 3 years showed that 6 participants (22.22%) had good knowledge. The knowledge level results based on the experience performing first aid for hypothermia in 41 participants showed that 8 participants (19.511%) had good knowledge. From 16 participants who have not been performing first aid for hypothermia, 2 of them (12.50%) had good knowledge. The study results showed that most of the participants have a moderate level of knowledge.
