Abstract. The attitude of disaster response to disaster-affected communities in general is an

urgent priority to be given so that the community becomes resilient. So far, people are accustomed

to relying on government assistance and are not able to provide an appropriate first response. This

is because the community does not understand how to act appropriately when a disaster occurs in

the area where they live. Law No. 24 of 2007 on Disaster Management. The subjects in this study

were 110 Advanced Coaches, the Surabaya Kwarcab. Helping Brigade, the Surabaya Kwarcab Care

Scouts, the Surabaya Kwartir Branch Work Council using a knowledge scale on disaster response

and psychoeducation related to Psychological First Aids. This research is an experimental research,

using 1 group which is tested through pre-test and post-test. The data taken were analyzed using

SPSS with the Paired-Samples T-Test method. The pre-test was given before the seminar on disaster

response and psychoeducation related to Psychological First Aids. The results of the calculation of

the t test (Paired Sample Test) obtained the results of t = 6.473 at p = 0.000. This means that

between the pre-test and post-test of there is a very significant difference the experimental group

in the knowledge of disaster response. The post-test of the experimental group (Mean = 96.2553)

was higher than the pre-test of the experimental group (Mean = 88.5745), this indicates that PFA

psychoeducation can increase knowledge about disaster response, thus indicating a significant

relationship between psychoeducational independent variables. PFA with the dependent variable

is knowledge about disaster response. The implication of this research is that it is expected to

become an extension program so that it can increase knowledge related to disaster mitigation so

that in the future members of the Rescue Brigadier can become the vanguard of disaster mitigation.

Keywords: psychoeducation; psychological first aids; disasters; rescue brigadier.

INTRODUCTION

Law no. 24 of 2007 concerning Disaster

Management, Disasters are events or series

of events that threaten and disrupt

people's lives and livelihoods caused, either

by natural factors and/or factors non-

natural and human factors, resulting in

human casualties, environmental damage,

property losses, and psychological impacts.

(Law no. 24 of 2007, 2007)

Several studies have been conducted

on student disaster response, in various

forms of disasters such as earthquakes

(Bukhari & Sari, 2014), tsunamis (Restiadi,

2013), social conflicts (Praptiani, 2013),

landslides (Pangaribuan et al., 2019), Floods

(Parker, 2014). In addition, research on

disaster response through a learning

process has also been carried out

(Antoniou & Potsiou, 2020), (Wedyawati et

al., 2017). Disaster response is so important

in this country that many studies have been

carried out. This paper has the same focus

as previous research, but this attitude of

disaster response will be trained on scout

members who are members of the disaster

emergency response team.

The attitude of disaster response really

requires the ability to form a rational

decision by making decisions that have

goals, values and goals which contains

problem solving. A person who has good

rational decisions, the individual is call

being aware of all the consequences

(Jordan et al., 2015) (West et al., 2008). This

rational decision can be influenced by

emotional maturity, risk taking and self

control.

The disaster response training carried

out in the city of Surabaya has several

considerations, including the city of

Surabaya is one of the metropolitan cities

in Indonesia and is the capital city of East

Java Province which is geographically

located on the north coast of the island of

Java (Madura Strait) between 070 21” south

latitude and 1120 latitude. 36” to 1120 54”

East Longitude. The area is low land with an

altitude of 3-6 meters above sea level,

except in the south an altitude of 25-50

meters above sea level.

Administratively, the total area of

Surabaya is + 326.36 km² which is divided

into 31 sub-districts and 160 urban villages.

Like other tropical areas, the city of

Surabaya recognizes 2 seasons, namely the

rainy and dry seasons. Based on data from

the Silver II Surabaya Meteorological

Station in 2009, the average rainfall was

132.1 mm per month. The population in

2010 based on the population data version

of BPS (Central Bureau of Statistics) is

2,765,908 million people consisting of

various ethnic groups. (Annual Financial

Reports of Manufacturing Companies, 2019)

Geographical position as mentioned

above, there are several types of disasters

that have the potential to occur in the city

of Surabaya. For this reason, disaster

emergency response training is very

necessary. Disaster emergency response

training is an integrated work that actively

involves the community and other parties.

So that in the field implementation later, it

will form good coordination and synergy

between the government, related agencies

and the community. (Lestari et al., 2014)

The Indonesian Scout Movement is the

name of a non-formal education

376 | Psycoeducation of Responsible Scouts Care for Others in Disaster Response

organization that organizes scouting

education in Indonesia. The word

"PRAMUKA" is an abbreviation of “Praja

Muda Karana”, which means Young Spirit

Who Loves to Work. The Scout Movement

aims to form every scout having a

personality of faith, piety, noble character,

patriotic spirit, law-abiding, disciplined,

upholding the noble values of the nation,

life skills, physically and mentally healthy,

become a citizen who has the spirit of

pancasila, is loyal, and obedient to the

Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia

and becomes a good and useful member of

society, who can build himself

independently and jointly be responsible

for the development of the nation and

state, has concern for fellow life, and the

natural environment. So that scout

members can help when a disaster occurs.

(Esensi, 2020)

METHODS

This research is an experimental

research, which has independent variables

and dependent variables. The independent

variable was Psychoeducational

Psychologic First Aid (PFA). The dependent

variable is knowledge about disaster

response which is measured using a

knowledge scale about disaster response

which will be used as a pre and posttest

scale and has been consulted with expert

judgment expert judgment to be asked for

an assessment as well as input so that a

statement is obtained that is in accordance

with the research.

The data collection tool used in this

study is a scale of knowledge about disaster

response with indicators explaining

disasters, causes and mitigation,

communication lines in the event of a

disaster, disaster threats, and Psychological

First Aid (PFA) which consists of 10 question

items with a correlation index validity of

0.345 to 0.803. With a reliability coefficient

of 0.948 using a nominal scale with correct

or incorrect answer choices with values of 1

and 2.

The method in this study uses

psychoeducation which will be carried out

for 1 session for 150 minutes using a zoom

meeting, with material containing

psychoeducation in the form of:

understanding disaster, causes of disasters,

disaster management cycles,

communication procedures, psychological

first aid, and reflection. However, previously

the participants were given a pre-test to

measure the respondent's knowledge

about disaster response and PFA, then

when the psychoeducation had been

completed, the participants were given a

post-test to measure the effect of PFA

training as knowledge in disaster response

on the respondents.

This study uses a true experimental

approach, namely research that aims to

investigate causal relationships by applying

one or more experimental groups to a

treatment and comparing the results with

one or more control groups that are not

treated. The research design used was a

one group pre-test-post-test design,

namely experimental research carried out

in only one group that was chosen at

random and no stability and clarity test of

the group's condition was carried out

before being given treatment (Arikunto,

2009).

Data analysis used the Paired-Samples

T-Test technique, to see if there was a

difference in group mean before and after

psycho education was carried out.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results

Based on the research results obtained

from an open scale distributed online via

google form. This scale is used to measure

knowledge about disaster response which

aims to obtain information in the form of

whether psychoeducation can increase

knowledge about disaster response.

The results of the calculation of the t

test (Paired Sample Test) obtained the

results of t = 6.473 at p = 0.000. This means

that between the pre-test and post-test of

there is a very significant difference the

experimental group in the knowledge of

disaster response. The post-test of the

experimental group (Mean = 96.2553) was

higher than the pre-test of the

experimental group (Mean = 88.5745), this

indicates that PFA psychoeducation can

increase knowledge about disaster

response, thus indicating a significant

relationship between psychoeducational

independent variables. PFA with the

dependent variable is knowledge about

disaster response.

Based on the results of research using

qualitative methods through data

collection techniques in the form of a scale

that has been given to 110 Advanced

Trustees, the Surabaya Kwarcab Helping

Brigade, Surabaya Kwarcab Care Scouts,

Surabaya Kwartir Branch Work Council, the

results show that PFA psychoeducation can

increase knowledge about disaster

response so that it can become a an event

to cultivate the nation's next generation of

qualified candidates in the social, academic

and non-academic fields.

Discussion

Disaster prevention is a series of

activities carried out to reduce or eliminate

disaster risk, both through reducing the

threat of disasters and the vulnerability of

those who are threatened by disasters.

Preparedness is a series of activities carried

out to anticipate disasters through

organization and through appropriate and

efficient steps, so that disaster prevention

can be carried out by providing

psychoeducation related to PFA that can be

given to the advanced builder of the

Rescue Brigadier in order to become the

front line when a disaster occurs.

(Setyowati, 2019)

PFA is present as a simple model and

is expected to help recovery, by caring for

each other. In line with research conducted

by (Damayanti & Avelina, 2019) which

stated that PFA is considered effective

because it consists of several components

such as safety, calm, connectedness, self-

efficacy, group efficacy, and hope, this is

proven to be in line with the principles

given by world stress management

association.

The Rescue Brigadier is one of the

activity units under the auspices of the

Regional Kwartir of the East Java Scout

Movement which is concentrated on

handling disasters, seeking and helping the

community, especially young people, to

know more about the potential for

disasters in the East Java region and how to

live side by side with disasters. Straight with

disaster management, handling search and

378 | Psycoeducation of Responsible Scouts Care for Others in Disaster Response

rescue which has been carried out by the

brigade.

Based on the results of the research

that has been done, it is stated that there is

a significant relationship that PFA

psychoeducation can increase knowledge

about disaster response to the Rescue

Brigadier.

CONCLUSIONS

PFA psychoeducation can have an

effect on increasing knowledge about

disaster response, so that this knowledge

can be used as additional knowledge in the

disaster mitigation process that was

previously still common and lack of access

to disaster-related information so that it

can help to be more responsive in disaster

mitigation. Even though on the other hand,

the Rescue Brigadier still has to continue to

improve his knowledge related to disaster

mitigation not only from psychoeducation,

but directly from the training process

related to disaster response.

The implications of this research are

expected to be an outreach program for

the future so that it is better implemented

with a "pick up the ball" system in the sense

that activities can be directly carried out at

the BP13-37-Kwarcab head quarters

Surabaya. So that it can also be used as

reference material to further increase the

participation of Scout members in

counseling programs so that they can

increase knowledge related to disaster

mitigation so that in the future members of

the Rescue Brigade can become the

vanguard of disaster mitigation.
