Background: Syncope is a condition characterized by a sudden and temporar loss of consciousness. Terms like "fainting" or "losing consciousness" are often used by the public and can only be categorized as syncope if they involve a loss of consciousness. First aid before syncope occurs includes providing education such as the recommended measures: not driving, avoiding high places, maintaining adequate hydration so that fluid volume remains sufficient, increasing salt intake, eating regularly, exercising regularly, and if experiencing these symptoms, immediately lying down and raising the legs about 20-30 cm above the heart to help blood flow back to the brain; if lying down is not possible, sit. The purpose of this study is to understand the level of knowledge of 10th-grade students about first aid for syncope at SMA Brigjend Katamso 1 Medan in 2026. This study used a descriptive design with a quantitative approach. The research was conducted from May 7 to May 13, 2026, at SMA Brigjend Katamso 1 Medan.
