Design, Development, and Evaluation of a Mobile Learning App for Basic Simple Emergency Management Education

The Indonesian Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) reported an increase in the injuries experienced by the Indonesian population of 11.9% in 2022. This fact indicates the urgent need to acquire the knowledge and skills to provide first aid and emergency management. In this modern digital era, app use is increasing rapidly, and the apps have been used as a portable and easy-to-operate learning medium. Therefore, this project mainly aimed to design, develop, and evaluate an app for first aid and simple emergency management education. This study is an experimental, descriptive study of the app's design and development process, which was carried out using the multimedia development life cycle model. A total of two tests, i.e., functional suitability and usability tests, were carried out to determine the app's feasibility. This study's findings indicate that the average functional suitability of the app was above 76%, indicating that all the app's features worked properly. The average usability was also above 76%; the criteria of usefulness ranged from 81 to 92% (excellent), the ease-of-use criteria ranged from 80–91% (excellent), the ease of learning criteria ranged from 85-89% (excellent), and the satisfaction criteria ranged from 83-90% (excellent). This indicates that the app was helpful for users, was easy to use and operate, and exceeded users' expectations. Therefore, it is assumed that student health volunteers or laypersons can utilize the app as a valid and reliable learning source.
