Abstract

Background: Doctors generally do not work permanently at hospitals. Doctors are expected to deliver quality medical service at the hospitals. However, hospitals often find it difficult to exercise efective managerial control over the quality of medical services. This study aimed to investigate the effect of doctor’s personality, job characteristic, payment method, facility, on performance and quality of doctor service.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study using cross-sectional design. The study was carried out at Dr. Moewardi  Hospital and PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Surakarta, from March to May 2017. A sample 182 study subjects consisting of 26 doctors, 26 nurses, and 130 patients, were selected for this study by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was quality of doctor service. The independent variables were doctor’s personality (extrovert vs. introvert), doctor’s carefulness, proactive attitude, self-efficacy, autonomy, performance feedback, supervisor support, payment method, work site (private vs. public), and performance. Questionnaire was used to collect data. Path analysis was employed to analyze the data.Results: Good quality of doctor service was directly affected by good performance (b=0.64, SE=0.11, p<0.001), private work site (b= 2.85, SE=0.66, p<0.001), and strong self-efficacy (b=0.21, SE=0.07, p=0.006). Good work performance  was affected by extrovert personality (b=0.08, SE= 0.06, p=0.186), careful attitude (b=0.30; SE=0.09; p=0.001), proactive personality (b=−0.17; SE=0.05; p=0.001), strong self-efficacy (b=0.27; SE=0.07; p<0.001), autonomy (b=0.16; SE=0.06; p=0.015), performance feedback (b=0.43; SE=0.13, p<0.001), supervisor support  (b=0.14, SE=0.06, p=0.018), payment method (INA CBGs) (b= −2.29; SE= 0.66; p<0.001), and private work site (b= -0.26, SE= 0.68, p=0.696).Conclusion: Good quality of doctor service is directly affected by good performance, private work site, and strong self-efficacy.Keywords: quality, doctor’s service, performance, path analysisCorrespondence: Heni Hastuti.

Abstract

Background: It has been reported that there are some obstacles in the implementation of the National Health Insurance, one of which is its referral system. Community Health Center is expected to serve as a gatekeeper, such that most of the health problems can be tackled at the Community Health Center. However, anecdotal evidences had shown that the referral system did not run as expected. This study aimed to examine the implementation of the referral system in the National Health Insurance scheme with special attention on  the policy context and resources availability at Community Health Centers in Ngawi, East Java.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study conducted in Ngawi, East Java. The institutions under study included 3 Community Health Centers of different strata Geminggar Community Health Center (highest  strata), Ngawi Community Health Center (medium strata), Kasreman Community Health center (lowest strata). The other institution under study was Ngawi District Health Office. The informants for this study included 24 patients of various categories at Community Health Center: subsidy recipients, class I, class II, and class III. The other informants included 1 staff from District Health Office and 6 staff from Community Health Center. The data were collected by in-depth interview, observation, and document review. The data were analyzed by data reduction, presentation, and verification.Results: The policy on the referral system of the National Health Insurance (NHI) was good but its implementation was poor. Outpatient referral was still high because of community ignorance regarding referral system. It was often the case the referral was based on patient request.  The referral system problem also stemmed from the shortage of medical doctors and health equipment at the Community Health Center. Nevertheless, the availability of medicine and funding at Community Health Center were sufficient. The sources of funding included General Allocation Fund (DAU), Special Allocation Fund (DAK), Special Allocation Fund for Operational Affairs (BOK), and capitation. Community Health Center only managed capitation and BOK.Conclusion: There is a need for socialization to the community regarding the current referral system of the National Health Insurance either through the media or the BPJS representative at the Community Health Center. In addition, there is a need for recruitment of doctors with a clear salary regulation, and health equipment upgrade at Community Health Center. Keywords: Referral system, resources, National Health InsuranceCorrespondence: Maria Yeny Eskawati.

Abstract

Background: Iron supplementation program has been implemented in Banyumas, District, Central Java, but the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women remains as high as 55.37%. The Banyumas District Health Office has launched an ad hoc (temporary) iron supplementation program, namely Hemafort, in order to reduce anemia prevalence. This study aimed to investigate the factors that determine the effectiveness of the iron supplementation program for pregnant women in Banyumas, Central Java.Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with case study approach, and CIPP (context, input, process, product) framework. This study was conducted Wangon II and South Purwokerto Health Centers from October to November 2016. Informants were selected by purposive sampling including midwives, nutritional program managers, pharmacists, head of nutrition section, and pregnant women. The data were collected by in-depth interview, observation, and archival review. The data were analyzed by a multiple case study. The data were validated by data source triangulation.Results: The iron tablets coverage for pregnant women reached 94.88% and 89.26% in 2014 and 2015, respectively, in Banyumas. The minimal target of iron coverage for pregnant women was 90%. There was no local government policy or standard operating procedure (SOP) that regulated the efforts to tackle anemia problems in pregnant women. The number of health personnel in charge of nutrition and their competence were sufficient. But reliable budget to tackle anemia problem did not exist. Spending district budget was an exit strategy to take when there was deficiency in central budget allocation. The number of iron supplementation tablets was not guaranteed.Conclusion: The effectiveness of iron supplementation program for pregnant women depends on the existence of relevant policy, SOP, allocation of sufficient and reliable budget, as well as adequate supply of iron tablets.Keywords: iron supplementation tablets, pregnant women, local government, budgetCorrespondence: Purwati.
