Physical Access

Access to health services is often seen only from the provider perspective, while from the community side as a user is less noticed. Improving the quality of health services access requires a complete perspective on two diff erent sides. This research is designed descriptively qualitative. Data were collected by Focus Group Discussion (FGD), in-depth interview and observation. The research was conducted in Malang Regency in June-August 2018. The study results showed health services access generally the community believes that there are still perceived defi ciencies. Especially on the aspect of physical access, due to poor facilities and infrastructure. In addition, social access was also considered inadequate, because there were still health workers who served with less friendly. This study concludes that people still feel access to physical and social aspects is still diffi cult. It should be recommended to the local government for eff orts to improve physical access, and the Health Offi ce to disseminate health information about the rights of patients to the community. Abstrak Akses pelayanan kesehatan seringkali dilihat hanya dari perspektif pemberi pelayanan saja, sementara akses dari sisi masyarakat sebagai pengguna kurang terperhatikan. Perbaikan kualitas pelayanan kesehatan dari sisi akses memerlukan perspektif yang lengkap dari dua sisi yang berbeda. Penelitian ini didesain secara deskriptif kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan Focus Group Discussion (FGD), wawancara mendalam dan pengamatan. Penelitian dilakukan di Kabupaten Malang pada bulan Juni–Agustus 2018. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan aksesibilitas pelayanan kesehatan yang ada, secara umum masyarakat berpendapat bahwa masih ada kekurangan yang dirasakan. Terutama pada aspek akses secara fisik, dikarenakan sarana dan prasarana yang kurang baik. Selain itu akses secara sosial juga dirasa kurang, karena masih ada tenaga kesehatan yang melayani dengan kurang ramah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa masyarakat masih merasa akses dari aspek fisik dan sosial masih sulit. Perlu direkomendasikan pada pemerintah daerah setempat untuk upayaperbaikan akses secara fi sik, dan Dinkes untuk mendiseminasikan informasi kesehatan mengenai hak pasien kepada masyarakat.

Salah satu habitat gajah yang masih tersisa adalah Kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser (TNGL), terutama di wilayah Besitang. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi karakteristik sosial ekonomi, kepemilikan lahan, pemetaan wilayah dan mitigasi konflik manusia dengan gajah di Resort Besitang, TNGL. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan penyebaran kuesioner, wawancara dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Analisis data menggunakan tabel frekuensi dan analisa deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wilayah yang memiliki potensi konflik gajah di Resort Besitang adalah Daerah Halaban, Aras Senapal, Sekundur, Bukit Selamat dan Bukit Mas dengan intensitas konflik rendah sampai tinggi. Penyebab utama konflik manusia dengan gajah adalah fragmentasi kawasan hutan, ketidakpastian status lahan di daerah penyangga, pertumbuhan penduduk yang tinggi dan meningkatnya pendatang di wilayah Besitang, perambahan dan ilegal logging yang terus terjadi, minimnya kesadaran masyarakat dan peranan lembaga desa dalam mendukung konservasi gajah. Rekomendasi resolusi mitigasi konflik gajah diantaranya: 1) memperbaiki habitat gajah yang sudah terfragmentasi di dalam kawasan TNGL; 2) meningkatkan peran Tim CRU (Conservation Response Unit); 3) membentuk unit reaksi cepat penanganan konflik gajah dengan melibatkan para pihak; 4) menanam jenis tanaman yang tidak disukai dan dijauhi oleh gajah; 5) mereduksi ketergantungan masyarakat akan sistem pertanian yang membutuhkan lahan yang luas; 6) mengembangkan program untuk membantu peningkatan hasil panen; dan, 7) penyuluhan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman bahwa gajah merupakan bagian dari ekosistem yang harus lestari.

Perencanaan pengembangan uji kompetensi perawat Indonesia akan dikembangkan dengan metode OSCE.. Pelaksanaan uji OSCE membutuhkan persiapan yang matang, terutama kesiapan sumber daya manusia (SDM) dalam hal ini adalah dosen untuk melaksanakan uji OSCE. Mengetahui kesiapan SDM dalam pengembangan uji OSCE di Prodi D3 Keperawatan Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan (STIKES) Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiyyah Cilacap. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan rancangan studi kasus. Informan penelitian adalah 6 orang dosen dan Kepala Program Studi D3 keperawatan. Data diperoleh melalui, focus group discussion, wawancara mendalam dan studi dokumentasi. Data kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan constant comparative method. Penelitian menunjukan bahwa pengetahuan dosen tentang OSCE dan kompetensi berdasarkan pendidikan memenuhi persyaratan untuk pengembangan uji OSCE, namun masih membutuhkan pelatihan mengenai OSCE. Uji OSCE dapat diselenggarakan dengan melibatkan dosen dari prodi lain karena jumlah dosen di Prodi D3 Keperawatan STIKES Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiyyah Cilacap belum memenuhi kebutuhan pelaksanaan uji OSCE. Hambatan penyelenggaraan OSCE adalah SDM belum terkoordinasi, belum terlatih dan keterbatasan sarana pendukun. Pengetahuan dan kompetensi dosen berdasarkan tingkat pendidikan memenuhi syarat dalam pengembangan OSCE dan OSCE dapat diselenggarakan dengan melibatkan dosen prodi lain.
