In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) recorded 7.2 million deaths worldwide due to cardiovascular disease with cardiac arrest. The incidence of cardiac arrest outside the hospital killed more than 350,000 lives per year with the survival rate <10%. Handling cardiac arrest cannot only be focused on health workers but also on the community. Adolescents as part of the community can become a bystander CPR so that mastery needs to be given through demonstrations. This study is taken to understand the effectiveness of a demonstration to improve the skills as bystander CPR. The method used in this study is Quasi-Experimental with Interrupted Time Series (Repeated Measure) design. Whereas, the bivariate test used is Wilcoxon. The study was conducted in Plesungan Village, Karanganyar Regency, with a sample of 30 adolescents. The results of the data analysis show that before and right after the demonstration, the p-value is 0.000 while 2 weeks after the demonstration, the p-value is 0.003. Nevertheless, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after the demonstration, the p-value is known to be 0.010. Statistically, because the p-value is <0.05, it can be concluded that the demonstration method is effective to improve the adolescents' skills as bystander CPR. The use of appropriate media can improve an individual's ability to learn CPR. The opportunity to demonstrate directly is proved to be able to improve the skills of adolescents in conducting CPR.
