Abstract

This research aims to study the level of knowledge in first aid in case of danger in cave tourism at the provincial level of high school student in Nakhonsawan province. The sample consists of 27 students selected using multi-step methodology. The 30 items developed by the research team were used as a research tool for measuring the knowledge. The data was analyzed using averaging, standard deviation, and percentage. According to the results of the study, the researcher team found that 1) students had a provincial first aid knowledge score of 19, average of 19, with a standard deviation of 4.5 points (out of a 30), which was considered to have passed the minimum knowledge standard (18 score). 2) When comparing the scores of individual students with the minimum knowledge score that passed the standard (18 points), we found that 67 percent of the sample group did not pass the standard and 33 percent passed the standard. Therefore, there should be a public administration in preparation for such potentially dangerous incidents both at the local public policy level and in self-defense learning for children and young people.
