Modification of Water Rescue Tool for Saving the Drowned People at the Swimming Pool

Abstract

This research aims to determine the feasibility of a modified a water rescue tool. This research was conducted in a swimming pool. The number of respondents are for about 35 people (5 lifeguards and 3 pool attendants, 12 trainers in the swimming pool, 10 students, and 5 swimming pool visitors). The results of this study are expected to be one of the contributions of researchers to realize a modification tool for water rescue that is simple, safe, and feasible to use. The stages in this research were using the ADDIE research model in which there were 5 stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research method used the quantitative and qualitative approach with the type of research of development research. The data collection technique used the observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The data analysis was conducted through the recapitulation of expert and respondent validation data in the form of percentage scores. The results of the assessment of 35 respondents from the buoyancy aspect obtain a score of 95% (in the "Very decent" category), the target accuracy aspect gains a score of 95% (in the very feasible category), the aspect of the use of the tool gains a score of 96% (in the " Very decent" category), the effectiveness aspect obtains a score of 95% (in the " Very decent" category), the durability aspect obtains a score of 92% (in the "Very decent" category). the physical aspect gains a score of 90% (in the " Very decent" category), and the design aspect gains a score of 96% (in the "Very decent" category), while the average total score of the five aspects is at 96.% (in the "Very decent" category). The conclusion is that the feasibility of the Water rescue modification tool is included in the " Very decent" category.
