Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, and anytime. Tourism operators need to be responsive in order to increase tourist safety and reduce the incidence of cardiac arrest. Maximizing the behavior of tourism operators in handling these situations can be done by conducting cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. The purpose of this study was to determine how much cardiopulmonary resuscitation training improves tourism operator behavior in first aid in patients with cardiac arrest in the working area of Tanah Lot tourist attraction. The research method used Pre-experiment with the type of One-Group Pre test-Post test Design. The sampling technique used Non-Probability with Purposive Sampling technique with sample size is 57. Data collection using questionnaire sheets and observation sheets. The results showed that before the training, the respondents' behavior was in the poor category of 44.47% and after the training it increased to 77.75% in the moderate category. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon nonparametric test, p-value at sig. (2-tailed) is 0.001 (p < 0.05) on behavior along with its three domains, in knowledge, there was an average increase of 22.29%, attitude increased by 17.79%, action by 59.3%, and behavior increased by 33.01%. The results test prove that there is an increase in helping behavior by tourism operator after being given cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in the working area of Tanah Lot tourist attraction. It is expected that tourism operators work together with relevant health workers to create a continuous training program so that in the future they will be able to carry out fast and appropriate treatment to help cardiac arrest emergency cases.
