Continuing measurement of results Probability value/p value of Paired T test: Result = 0.123. Meaning: There is no difference between before and after treatment.

So it can be concluded that there is no difference before and after the implementation of the respondents to the research on the effect of providing basic life support (BLS) education to posyandu cadres in dealing with disasters in the work area of the Pangkal Balam Puskesmas, Pangkal Pinang City in 2022.
