| Summary: | Background: Pneumonia was one of the biggest health problems and the causes
of children death around the world. In Indonesia pneumonia accounted for 6
million cases per year and be one of the 6 countries with the largest incidence of
pneumonia in infants. The number of death due to pneumonia was 609 infants of
480.033 cases. Early detection rate of pneumonia was very low in Indonesia,
which is 20 % away from the government target of 80%. This situation could
increase the mortality rate. IMCI services have been implemented since 1997. For
the management of infants with pneumonia which was supported by human
resources from health professionals, funding, facilities, and infrastructure.
Objective: It is known that IMCI training is useful to improve the skills of health
workers in the management of a comprehensive pneumonia.
Methods: This study was an observational study with cross-sectional design. The
research subjects were all workers who provide services of IMCI at community
health centers of Aceh Besar district area and the study involving infants who did
medical consultations with cough complaint. Data analysis included univariable
analysis, two-sample t -test with unequal variances, Pearson product moment
correlation and multivariable using multiple linear regression test.
Results: Skills management of pneumonia at health workers who have been
trained better than the health care workers who were not trained with the mean
difference 14.3% (95% CI 11.7-16.9), with value changes 26%.The skill level of
knowledge influenced the management of pneumonia (p< 0.05), where as
education, years of service, facilities, supervision was not related to the treatment
of pneumonia skills p > 0.05. The training contributed most dominant 63.6 %
affects the treatment of pneumonia skills.
Conclusion: The skills of health workers who have been trained better than the
skills of health workers who are not trained. The knowledge related to the skills of
workers in the management of pneumonia. While education, years of service,
facilities, supervision were not related to the health workers skills in the
managements of pneumonia.
