Abstract

Sumenep is one of the districts in Indonesia with various geographical features. This district not only has a mainland, but also remote archipelago. The number of paediatric pneumonia cases is high in Sumenep, while new case findings are still low. The remote conditions between regions mean that the healthcare workers are limited when it comes to actively finding new cases of pneumonia which will lead to delayed treatment. This study has analysed the factors that inhibit health workers in remote areaswhen it comes to performing pneumonia case finding. This is an observational analytic research study with a cross-sectional design. The samples in this study are 21Puskesmas (public health centres) across Sumenep located in 18 mainland sub-districts and 9 island sub-districts. This study shows that a lack of knowledge is the only responsible factor that affects the health workers’ performance in finding new cases of pneumonia (p=0,029; ß=0,148). Surprisingly, limited upgrading skills for health workers and the high workload is that often complained about does not significantly influence performance.
