Abstract

Background: Maternal and child health (MCH) routine data is essential in making a good health-relatedpolicy. However, the quality of MCH routine data in Indonesia is doubted, and thus the Indonesian governmentrelies heavily on the survey data for policymaking. This condition raises questions about where the problemsexist in routine data recording stages. This study aims to explore the barriers and strategies of MCH routinedata recording by the administrators in the primary healthcare center.Method: This study was qualitativeresearch conducted in Buru Regency, Ambon City, Purworejo Regency, and Surakarta City from May toNovember 2020. The data collections were intended to understand administrators’ efforts to deal with the datarecording problems. Data triangulation was performed through in-depth interviews with primary healthcarecenter staff and observations on daily routine data administration practices.Results: The study demonstratedchallenges in the MCH routine data administration context. The first problem is behavioral contexts lead toincorrect input and delay data submission. Second, technical determinant shows the lack of integration thatleads to repetitive data recording and data fragmentation. The third was the organizational problem suchas lack of inter and intra-departmental coordination in data sharing, infrastructure, and human resourceshortage.Conclusion: The findings elucidate the problem of administrative structures in the implementationof routine data policy. A comprehensive response to cope with routine data policy implementation contextis needed. Existing maternal and child healthcare routine data requires structural administration refinementthat provides a context for implementing reliable routine data recording of maternal and child health.

Abstract

The Indonesian government is encouraging childbirth in healthcare to reduce maternal mortality in Indonesia, which is still high.This study aims to conduct an ecological analysis related to the factors that affect Indonesia’s healthcare childbirth.The researchconducted the ecological analysis using secondary data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia report in 2018. The study takes all provincesas samples. Apart from the proportion of healthcare childbirth, four other variables analyzed as independent variables were the proportion of antenatal care 1st visit, the proportion of antenatal care 4th visit, the ratio of health center per district, and the hospital per 100,000 population ratio. Data were analyzed using a scatter plot.The study results found a tendency for the proportion of healthcare childbirth to be lower in the eastern than other Indonesia regions. The study also found that the higher the antenatal care 1st visit in a province, the higher the proportion of healthcare childbirth in that province.Meanwhile, the higher the antenatal care 4th visit in a region, the higher the proportion of healthcare childbirth in that region. The higher the ratio of health centers per district in a province, the higher the proportion of healthcare childbirth in that province. Moreover, the higher ratio of health centers per district in an area, the higher the proportion of healthcare childbirth in that area.The study concluded that four independent variables were analyzed ecologically related to healthcare childbirthin Indonesia.
