Abstrakt: Introduction: The Covid pandemic has had an impact on reducing the number of emergency room visits in cases of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This will have a negative impact when the decrease in the number of emergency room visits by ACS patients results in delays in treatment. Online education through applications can be a solution to increasing knowledge without having to violate health protocols due to crowds during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to determine the effect of the DETAK mobile application on the early detection of ACS during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: This study will use a quantitative research design with a quasi-experimental pretest and posttest with a control group. This study applied a quantitative research design. A total of 252 respondents who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into control and intervention groups. The intervention group was given education through the DETAK application, and the control group was given conventional education about ACS. Before the intervention was given, a pre-test was conducted in both groups and after the intervention, a post-test was performed on both. Results: The results of the study showed that there was an increase in the ability to detect ACS earlyin the control group (p=0.025) and the intervention group (p < 0.001). Results from the bivariate analysis showed that there were differences in the ability of early detection between the intervention and control groups (p< 0.001). Conclusions: There was an effect of using the DETAK mobile application on increasing knowledge of risk factors and symptoms of ACS which has an impact on increasing the ability to detect early symptoms of ACS during the Covid-19 pandemic.
