Abstract

Background: Maternal mortality remains a significant public health concern in Indonesia, where 19.3% of deliveries are still conducted outside healthcare facilities or without skilled birth attendants. The working area of Ambukha Public Health Centre (Puskesmas) has the lowest proportion of facility-based deliveries in the West Nias District (67% in 2023), indicating the need to analyse factors associated with delivery place choice. Objective: To identify factors related to the selection of delivery place among mothers in the working area of Ambukha Public Health Centre, Lolofitu Moi Subdistrict, West Nias District. Methods: This study employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all mothers who delivered within the Ambukha Public Health Centre area in 2023 (N=78), and samples were obtained using a total sampling approach. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analysed using Chi-square tests and logistic regression. Results: Significant associations were found between the choice of delivery place and maternal knowledge (p=0.000; OR=2.267), maternal attitude (p=0.000; OR=4.250), national health insurance (JKN) membership (p=0.000; OR=5.333), access to healthcare facilities (p=0.000; OR=6.038), husband’s support (p=0.000; OR=4.250), perceived need factors (p=0.000; OR=3.333), as well as cultural beliefs (p=0.004; OR=2.473). Multivariate logistic regression identified maternal knowledge as the most influential factor in delivery place selection, as indicated by the most significant coefficient value (B = –4.204) and statistical significance (p=0.005). Conclusion: Maternal knowledge, attitude, JKN membership, access to healthcare facilities, husband’s support, perceived need, and cultural beliefs are significantly associated with the selection of delivery place. Efforts to increase facility-based delivery coverage in this area should prioritise improving maternal knowledge, followed by strengthening other supporting factors.

Abstract

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease that remains a major global and national public health problem, with Indonesia ranking second among countries with the highest TB burden worldwide. Non-adherence to treatment is one of the main barriers to successful TB control, as it may lead to treatment failure, drug resistance, and increased morbidity and mortality. At the Simalingkar Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas Simalingkar), the specific factors determining treatment adherence among pulmonary TB patients have not been extensively studied. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the determinants of treatment adherence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients at the Simalingkar Community Health Center in 2024. Methods: This study employed an analytical cross-sectional design. The study population consisted of all pulmonary TB patients undergoing treatment at the Simalingkar Community Health Center, with a total sample of 90 respondents selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and medical records, and analyzed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: A total of 77.8% of patients were adherent to treatment. Bivariate analysis showed significant associations between education (p < 0.001), employment status (p = 0.004), knowledge (p = 0.006), and health care services (p = 0.011) with treatment adherence. Age, sex, and family support were not significantly associated with adherence. Multivariate analysis indicated that the most dominant factor associated with treatment adherence was educational level (OR = 9.004; 95% CI: 2.58–31.49), followed by employment status (OR = 5.59; 95% CI: 1.48–21.12), and health care service support (OR = 3.99; 95% CI: 1.09–14.56). Conclusion: The significant determinants of treatment adherence among pulmonary TB patients at the Simalingkar Community Health Center were educational level, employment status, and health care service support, with education being the most dominant factor. It is recommended that TB control programs place greater emphasis on interventions aimed at improving health literacy, socio-economic support, and the quality and accessibility of health care services to enhance treatment adherence.
