Introduction: Heart disease is a significant problem in public health
lately. Delay in treatment is still a significant problem in managing
coronary heart disease. Objective: To analyze the prehospital care of
a heart attack and its relationship with the delay to the hospital.
Method: The study was conducted at Dr. Hardjono Ponorogo Regency,
a representative sample of 108 respondents was taken purposively. A
cross-sectional analytic design was conducted to measure the
relationship between prehospital care and delay to the hospital.
Analysis of the chi-square test with α = 0.05 was used to test the
association between prehospital care and its relationship with the
delay in the hospital for coronary heart disease patients. Result: The
results of the study illustrate that there were 70.4% of families were
doing first aid in the wrong category, and there were 73.1% of families
late in bringing CHD patients to the hospital. There was a significant
relationship between behavior with patient delay to the hospital (p =
0.000). There was a significant relationship between behaviors with
patient delay in the hospital. Conclusion: The promotion of early signs
of heart disease should be focused on the level of the family as well as
integrated emergency care services immediately implemented to
reduce the delay in coronary heart disease patients to the hospital.
