Abstract

Posyandu is a community-based activity for health care in Indonesia. We evaluate the association between mother knowledge and perception about cadres performance with utilization of posyandu in 67 participants (22-43 years) from the cross-sectional study of 2013. Participants were interviewed face-to-face using a questionnaire. Chi-square analysis examined the associations between knowledge and perception about cadres performance with the utilization of posyandu. Utilization of posyandu showed that majority mothers were inactive participants (90%). The study revealed that the majority of mothers (80.6%) were knowledgeable about posyandu and its function. However, only 26.9% mothers knew the others function of posyandu, except growth monitoring. Half of mothers (55.2%) had positive perception about cadres performance. Most of them (92.5%) stated that cadres always on time, but 70.1% cadres could not give enough information about their health children. Mother knowledge and perception about cadres performance was associated with the utilization of posyandu. However, there was no significant association with mothers of toddlers’ health care needs. Mothers who were inactive participation in posyandu were more good knowledge of posyandu (90.7%), more negative perception about cadres performance (96.7%) and more needed posyandu (79.2%). Cadres performances are needed to explore in future studies to activate posyandu.
