The Effect of Training on Improving the Knowledge of Cadres in Using E-Posyandu

Abstract

East Java is one of the provinces in Indonesia that reached the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) of 89.81/100,000 live births in 2019. This number is still above the SDG's target of 70/100,000 KH. Jember Regency is included in the top 5 regions with the highest MMR (133.4/100,000 live births). The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in East Java also tended t o stagnate in 2018 and 2019 (23/1,000 KH) and was above the SDG's target (12/1,000 KH). The maternal and infant h ealth data at Electronic Posyandu (E-Posyandu) can be used as information for early detection of risk factors for mater nal and infant mortality. This research aimed to analyze the effect of training on improving the competence of cadres i n the use of E-Posyandu. There were 10 cadres in Posyandu Manggis 15, 15A, and 18, Kemuning Lor Village, Jember Regency as respondents. The research was conducted in August 2021 and the sample was set at 10 cadres. The results showed that the average score of the posttest reached > 60 points. It showed that most cadres had good knowledge and competence in using E-posyandu. The training could improve the participants' knowledge and attitudes. This means th at they could receive the message that the resource person wanted to convey.

Optimization of Indonesian Youth Knowledge In Stunting Prevention Assistance

“…These findings align with several other studies, albeit conducted on different topics and training methods. Research by Santi et al (2022) demonstrates that E-Posyandu information system training has a considerable effect on improving the knowledge of health cadres (Santi et al, 2022). Another study by Merry et al (2019) aligns with the findings of this study, albeit employing different types and content of training (Merry et al, 2019).…”

Health education lecture method to increase posyandu cadres' knowledge about stunting prevention in children

“…This enables them to understand the factors that cause stunting, effective prevention measures, and their role in supporting stunting prevention efforts (Etrawati et al, 2023). Thus, the lecture method can be an effective tool in strengthening the knowledge of Posyandu cadres and improving the quality of health services they provide to the community related to the problem of stunting in children (Santi et al, 2022). Systematic information delivery: the lecture method enables the delivery of information on stunting prevention in children in a systematic and structured manner.…”
