Skills Training for Integrated Health Post Cadres Using Learning Videos (A Case Study at the Lentora Integrated Health Post, Mamboro Community Health Center, Palu City)

  ABSTRACT : Posyandu (Integrated Health Posts) in the era of primary care transformation provide services for the entire life cycle, including pregnant women, women in labor and postpartum, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age and adolescents, productive-age and elderly. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the skills of Posyandu cadres as mobilizers, counselors, and recorders to enable them to provide services for the entire life cycle through 25 basic cadre skills, including: 1) Posyandu Management Skills; 2) Infant and Toddler Skills; 3) Pregnant and Breastfeeding Skills; 4) School-Age and Adolescent Skills; and 5) Productive-Age and Elderly Skills. The results of a preliminary study at the Mamboro Community Health Center indicate that there is no integrated integrated health post (Posyandu) providing lifecycle services, and no Posyandu cadres possessing the 25 basic Posyandu skills. Therefore, the Community Service Team from the Faculty of Medicine, Tadulako University, conducted training for 25 basic Posyandu cadres and piloted a video learning program for Posyandu cadres. The outputs of this community service program are: 1) Increasing Posyandu cadres’ knowledge and understanding of the 25 basic Posyandu cadre skills; and 2) Obtaining information on Posyandu cadre perceptions regarding Posyandu cadre skills training using video learning. The method for analyzing training outcomes uses a case study approach, which focuses on gathering in-depth and comprehensive information about the case, in this case, the training of Posyandu cadres using a video learning model for basic Posyandu cadre skills at the Lentora Posyandu in Palu City. The results of the research on the skills training of Posyandu cadres at the Lentora Posyandu in the Mamboro Community Health Center area using a video learning model for Posyandu cadre skills are as follows: 1) There was an increase in cadre knowledge (before and after training) regarding 25 basic Posyandu cadre skills. Therefore, the video learning model is quite effective for use in Posyandu cadre skills training in the era of primary care integration; 2) Some cadres believe that the video learning model can help cadres improve their knowledge and understanding of the 25 Posyandu cadre skills, provided they are watched continuously and put into practice. The obstacle is ownership of an Android phone.
