Abstract

Background: The threat of population explosion in Indonesia is real. Long-term contraception program is an alternative strategy for controlling population growth rate. The slowering achieve­ment of IUD contraceptive target for the last two years has become a central concern at the District Health Office Jombang, East Java. Sub-optimal quality of IUD contraceptive service, high drop-out rate, high unmet-need, and unsystematic family planning reporting and recording, are assumed to be the causes of the under-achievement. This study aimed to examine the effect of socio-demographic factor and democratic leadership on village midwife performance in IUD contraceptive service in Jombang District, East Java.Subjects and Method: This was an analytic observational study with cross-sectional design. It was conducted in 12 community health centers in Jombang District, East Java, from March to May 2017. A sample of 120 women of reproductive age was selected for this study by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was village midwife performance. The inde­pen­dent variables were knowledge, self-efficacy, compensation, democratic leadership, and work motivation. The data were collected by a pre-tested questionnaire, and were analyzed by path analysis model.Results: Midwife performance was positively affected by higher education (b=5.19; SE=0.53; p<0.001), stronger work motivation (b=0.48; SE=0.07; p<0.001), better knowledge (b=0.21; SE=0.08; p=0.006), stronger self-efficacy (b=0.18; SE=0.08; p=0.023), and democratic leadership (b=0.14; SE=0.05; p=0.008). Self-efficacy was affected by education (b=1.16; SE=0.62; p=0.063), knowledge (b=0.35; SE=0.08; p<0.001), democratic leadership (b=0.23; SE=0.04; p<0.001). Work motivation was affected by compensation (b=0.65; SE=0.16; p<0.001), democratic leadership (b=0.31; SE=0.07; p<0.001), knowledge (b=0.29; SE=0.09; p<0.001), and self-efficacy (b=0.17; SE=0.09; p=0.058).Conclusion: Midwife performance was positively affected by education, work motivation, education, self efficacy, and democratic leadership.Keywords: midwife performance, socio-demographic factor, democratic leadership, IUD contra-ceptive, family planning.Correspondence: Ratna Dewi Permatasari.

Abstract

Background: An indicator of quality health service is the extent of patient expectation fulfilment. Perceived quality of health services may be influenced by various factors such as patient socio-demographic factors, financing type, and accreditation status. As statistics have shown, the number of patient visits at Surakarta Community Health Center has been decresing for the last few years. This study aimed to determine the associations between patient characteristics, financing type, accreditation status, and the quality of  health services at community health center.Subjects and Method: This was a quantitative study with cross-sectional design. It was conducted at Community Health Center, Surakarta, Central Java, from May to July 2017. A sample of 120 patients were selected for this study from 2 Community Health Centers selected at random from all 17 Community Health Centers existing in Surakarta. The independent variables were patient characteristics, financing type, and accreditation status of the Community Health Centers selected. The dependent variable was quality of health service. The data were collected using a set of questionnaire and  analyzed using multiple logistic regression.Results: Quality of service was negatively associated with patient education (OR = 0.27 ; 95% CI = 0.08 to 0.90; p = 0.033), being employed (OR = 0.15 ; 95% CI= 0.04 to 0.48; p = 0.002), higher patient income (OR = 0.28 ; 95% CI= 0.08 to 0.94; p = 0.039), being insured (OR = 3.06 ; 95% CI= 0.81 to 11.52; p = 0.099), and higher accreditation status of Community Health Care (OR = 2.96 ; 95% CI= 1.03-8.50; p = 0.044).Conclusion: Quality of service at Community Health Care is negatively associated with patient education, being employed, higher patient income, being insured, and higher accreditation status.Keywords: patient characteristic, financing type, accreditation status, quality of servicesCorrespondence: Yeni Tri Utami.

Abstract

Background: The health care reform promulgated by World Health Organization (WHO), namely Universal Health Coverage (UHC), aims to ensure that every citizen has access to affordable and equitable health care they need with good quality. The Indonesian National Health Insurance Plan has been implemented since January 1, 2014. However, anecdotal evidence indicates that there are some inequity concerns on the use of expensive medical care, such as renal hemodialysis.  This study aimed to examine social economic equity in the utilization of hemodialysis among patients with chronic renal failure under the National Health Insurance (NHI, JKN) plan.Subjects and Method: This study was analytic observational using cross-sectional design. This study was conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital, Surakarta, from  March to April 2017. A sample of 120 patients with chronic renal failure was selected for this study by simple random sampling.  The dependent variable was frequency of hemodialysis use. The independent variables were educational status, location of residence, family income, employment status (formal vs. informal), and membership status (beneficiary vs. non-beneficiary of government subsidy). The data were collected by questionnaire and were analyzed by path analysis.Results: Higher frequency of hemodialysis use was directly associated with higher family income (b=5.04; SE=2.36; p=0.033), distance < 20 km (b=-1.10; SE=2.15; p=0.610), working in informal sector (b=3.84; SE=3.05; p=0.305), beneficiary of government subsidy (b=-3.68; SE=2.81; p=0.190), longer duration of hemodialysis (b=0.39; SE=0.08; p<0.001), severe condition of illness (b=46.11; SE=2.42; p<0.001), and living in urban area (b=3.34; SE=0.31; p= 0.147).Conclusion: Higher frequency of hemodialysis use is directly affected by higher family income, distance < 20 km, working in informal sector, beneficiary of government subsidy, longer duration of hemodialysis, severe condition of illness, and living in urban area.Keywords: National Health Insurance, membership, hemodialysis, inequityCorrespondence: Kukuh Ardian.

Abstract

Background: Dynamic changes of disease development call for improvement in health care. In light of this context, public health nursing with home care has an increasing role in the management of diseases. Comprehensive public health nursing requires partnership between healthcare providers, patients, and their environment. In Indonesia the focus of nursing remains on hospital care, while rarely on home care that fulfils the need of the community. This study aimed to examine the implementation of public health nursing, encompassing its objective, resources, and work procedure, on home care patients.  Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study with case study approach. This study was carried out at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital, Surakarta, from February to March 2017. The key informants of this study included nurses, home care coordinator, doctors, dieticians, and physiotherapists. Methods of data collection included interview, observation, and archival review. Data were analyzed in stages normally employed in case study.Results: The objectives of home care have generally been understood by most health providers. On the other hand the objectives of home care have not well-understood by the families of the patients, leading to inconsistency with the objective. There is a need to increase resources necessary for the nurses, particularly improvement in competency, as well as case selection, review, planning, coordinating, and evaluation. Likewise, collaboration between health care provider, patients, and their families, need to be improved in order to maximize home care.Conclusion: There is a need to strenghten commitment of all parties involved in home care. The objectives of home care need to be understood by all parties. Hospitals are expected to have stronger responsibility with both work procedure in order to deliver optimal health care. By doing so, the public health nursing with home care will be able to fulfil the need of the community.Keywords: home care, objective, resources, work procedureCorrespondence: Ratih Novitasari, Masters Program in Public Health, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta.
