This program works with fishermen from Watu Ulo Hamlet, Sumberejo Village, Ambulu Jember District. The outcomes result from this program were 1) first aid knowledge and training for fishermen with barotrauma cases, 2) modules or simple books about barotrauma, 3) activity videos, 4) published articles. The methods used to achieve this goal were 1) mentoring, 2) education and 3) practice of first aid training for barotrauma cases. The first aid training program for barotrauma cases was carried out on March 19, 2023 at the Watu Ulo Hamlet Hall, attended by 9 fishermen as regional coordinators.
