Abstract

Choking cases in toddlers are a household emergency that requires quick and appropriate handling. Dasawisma mothers have a strategic role as the frontline in family safety, but are often constrained by a lack of technical skills and panic when faced with emergency situations. This community service activity aims to improve the competence (knowledge and psychomotor skills) of Dasawisma women in carrying out airway rescue techniques through the "Jari Sigap" program. The activity was held on Sunday, April 3, 2026, at the Pandanarum Village Hall. The participants of the activity amounted to 85 Dasawisma members. The method used was participatory training which included interactive educational sessions, demonstrations  of Heimlich Maneuver and Back Blows techniques, and self-simulation assistance using baby and child mannequins. The evaluation of program success was measured using pre-test and post-test instruments  as well as skill observation sheets. The implementation of the activity showed a significant increase in the capacity of participants.  Before the training, the majority of cadres were in the poor (74%) and sufficient (26%) categories, and none were in the good category (0%). After the intervention of Jari Sigap Dasawisma, there was a significant increase where 56% of cadres reached the good category, 33% were adequate, and the less category shrank drastically until 11% remained. The enthusiasm of the participants was very high, as seen from the liveliness in the practice simulation session. The "Jari Sigap" program is effective in transforming panic into preparedness for Dasawisma mothers. This training is expected to be a model of continuous education at the community level to reduce the risk of fatalities due to choking in toddlers in the domestic environment.
