Abstract

Background and purpose: Development of e-Puskesmas information system is one of the government’s efforts to improve efficiency and effectiveness of primary healthcare services. A comprehensive evaluation of e-Puskesmas implementation has not been conducted. This study aims to explore the implementation of e-Puskesmas system in Badung District from health providers’ perspectives. Methods: This study was an explorative qualitative study conducted in Badung District from July to August 2019. Datacollection was carried out through in-depth interviews with 14 informants who were selected purposively, consisted of managers and operators of e-Puskesmas in Badung District, Health Office and Public Health Centre (puskesmas). Semi-structured interview guidelines were developed based on the Health Metrics Network (HMN) Framework. Data were analyzed by thematic analysis. Data validation was carried out through source triangulation, member checking and peer debriefing. Results: The input of e-Puskesmas is generally sufficient in terms of policies, financing and infrastructure, but it is necessary to improve the quality and quantity of human resources, the internet network, and availability of standard operating procedure. The e-Puskesmas indicators have not accommodated the overall minimum health service standards of puskesmas, data on promotive and preventive programs, and data from private health care facilities. Data management is non optimal due to poor data completeness, breach of confidentiality and also the existence of other disease specific information system that is not integrated into the e-Puskesmas system. The quality of information produced from the system should be improved since there is lack of validity and unable to provide comprehensive information regarding health status of the community. The use and dissemination of information is limited to reporting to the health office while dissemination to the public has not been optimal. Conclusion: The implementation of e-Puskesmas in Badung District has not been optimal. Concerted efforts should be undertaken to overcome the barriers in the implementation and to develop a more effective, efficient and integrated health information system.

Abstract

Background and purpose: Number of people in Indonesia who have access to smartphones is quite high, but their use for health education media specifically for the detection of pneumonia is still limited. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of use of video information through the WhatsApp (WA) application compared to leaflets in order to increase maternal knowledge about early detection of pneumonia among under-five children. Methods: A pretest-posttest randomized control trial was conducted in three of the six sub-villages (called banjar) in the Gelgel Village, Klungkung District. Banjar was selected purposively by considering the distance between banjar. As many as 30 mothers were selected as samples from around 45-50 mothers of children under five in each banjar. The intervention was conducted randomly where one banjar was given intervention with videos through WA, one banjar with leaflets and one banjar as a control group. The intervention was carried out for three weeks (August-September, 2018). Data were collected before and after the intervention through face-to-face interviews with the mothers in their homes, which included social demographics, mother's knowledge about pneumonia detection and educational media preferences. Bivariate data analysis was conducted with paired t-test and multivariate analysis with General Linear Model. Results: Characteristics of respondents in all three groups were similar in terms of age, education, employment, and parity. The results of interviews on educational media choices showed that most respondents (64%) preferred WA media. The increase in mean knowledge score after the intervention was significantly higher in the WA group which was 6.93 (95%CI: 6.38-7.49) and leaflet 5.90 (95%CI: 5.49-6.44) compared to the control group 1.87 (95%CI: 1.26-2.47). There was no significant difference between the WA and the leaflet group. The results of multivariate analysis showed that educational media (F=110.99; p<0.01) and education (F=16.69; p<0.01) were significantly associated with the increase in knowledge after adjustments were made based on age, employment and parity. Conclusion: WA videos and leaflet were found to be effective in increasing maternal knowledge about early detection of pneumonia in under-five children. Because the use of WA application is increasing, efforts to improve health knowledge with WA videos need to be enhanced.
