Abstract

Background: Sanitation development issues are socio-cultural problems, one of which is the behavior of residents who are accustomed to defecating in public places. According to data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, 25% of the population uses unsanitary toilets and 17.7% still defecate in public places. Data from the Tanjung Iman Health Center in 2024 shows that only 57.3% of families have toilets, which is far from the government's target of 80%. Data from Sinar Jaya Village shows that 73.33% of respondents living in the watershed area practice open defecation in rivers. In addition, 66.6% of the community did not know the benefits of toilets, the requirements for healthy toilets, or the impact of open defecation in rivers, so the community did not want to have family toilets. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine a correlation between knowledge and the role of health workers with the family ownership of healthy toilets among the coastal community of Sinar Jaya Village. Method: This study is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 352 respondents. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The number of samples found was 80. The analysis used was univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. Research results: Almost all of the respondents did not have a family toilet, a small number of respondents had insufficient knowledge, and a small number of respondents had health workers who did not support them. There was a correlation between knowledge (p=0.000) and the role of health workers (p=0.003) and the ownership of family toilets. Conclusion : The suggestion for future researchers is to investigate the socio-cultural behavioral factors related to family toilet ownership using multivariate analysis and in-depth interviews.

Abstract

Background: Dental and oral health issues are significant public health concerns worldwide. Many factors influence the utilization of health services, including the role of health workers, facilities and infrastructure, treatment costs, and the distance to the community health center, all of which affect patient satisfaction. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between the role of health workers and treatment costs with patient satisfaction at the Dental Polyclinic of Lesung Batu Health Center, Empat Lawang Regency. Metods: The method used is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected as primary data by distributing questionnaires to 35 patients receiving treatment at the Dental Polyclinic, using total sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. Research results: Univariate analysis results indicate an average health worker role score of 3.40, an average treatment cost of Rp. 41,714, and an average patient satisfaction score of 92.94. Bivariate analysis shows a significant relationship between the role of health workers and patient satisfaction (p=0.001) and between treatment costs and patient satisfaction (p=0.002). Conclusion : The researchers recommend that the health center conduct outreach to schools and POSYANDU (integrated health posts) to educate children and mothers with toddlers on proper dental and oral health maintenance.
