ABSTRACT

Background: Puskesmas or community health center is a functional health depart­ment with active community participation. Puskesmas is overseen by the Indonesian Mi­nistry of Health and provide healthcare for population on sub-district level. Pus­kes­mas orga­nizes comprehensive, integrated, equitable, acceptable, and affordable health efforts by the community. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with Pus­kesmas per­formance in public health planning in Muaro Jambi, Jambi.

Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study carried out at 19 community health centers in Muaro Jambi, Jambi. A total of 227 managers of public health effort pro­­gram (UKM) were selected for this study. The dependent variable was the perfor­mance of UKM planning. The in­de­pendent variables were leadership, strategic plan­ning, focus on customer, mea­su­re­ment-analysis-knowledge management, focus on worker, and focus on process. The data were collected by questionnaire. Bivariate ana­ly­sis was performed by co­rrelation. Multivariate analysis was performed by linear reg­res­sion.

Results: Leadership (r= 0.52; p= 0.001), strategic planning (r= 0.54; p= 0.001), focus on customer (r= 0.39; p= 0.001), measurement-analysis-knowledge management (r= 0.52; p= 0.001), focus on worker (r= 0.53; p= 0.001), and process focus (r= 0.60; p= 0.001), were positively associated with the performance of UKM planning. Leadership (b= 0.16; 95% CI= 0.02 to 0.29; p= 0.029) and focus on process (b= 0.14; 95% CI= 0.04 to 0.24; p= 0.005), were positively correlated with the performance of UKM plan­n­ing in Pus­kesmas.

Conclusion: Leadership and focus on process are positively correlated with the per­for­mance of UKM planning in Puskesmas.
