This research focuses on the role of health workers in carrying out health services for WBP in Detention Centers. The research method used is a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques used are field research by conducting interviews and observations as well as literature studies. Based on the results of research conducted it is known that the role of health workers in detention centers is in accordance with their main duties and functions. Detention centers have a Polyclinic as a place for the implementation of health services in detention centers. In addition in the implementation of health services, there is an MoU between the detention center and the Government. In this case the provision of free health services with a National Identity Card (KTP) at a government-owned health agency. In addition, the detention center supports the implementation of the National Health Insurance for Penitentiary Guides in the Detention Center. But in the implementation of health services, the role of health workers does not run optimally because health workers in detention centers are only nurses' medical backgrounds, besides the lack of supporting infrastructure. After analyzing various facts, several alternative solutions were found to be done by: increasing the number of human resources for medical doctors in detention centers. Each disease experienced by WBP can be directly dealt with in detention centers and the addition of infrastructure facilities so that the role of health workers in the implementation of health services in Detention center can run optimally.

In medical practice, doctors do not work alone but are also often assisted by other health workers. Likewise Hospital as a corporation employs doctors and health workers to provide health services to the community. If in the event of any medical treatment from medical personnel to medical personnel and/or Hospital to the physician and at risk of mistake or negligence in the health service, then the loss suffered by the patient may result in risks (risico aanspraklijkheid) based on Article 1367 paragraph (3) BW. In the context of health law regulated in Article 65 of Law Number 36 Year 2014 on Health Personnel, and Article 35 Paragraph 6 of Law Number 38 Year 2014 on Nursing and Article 23 Paragraph (3) point c Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 2052 / Menkes / Per / X / 2011 About Practice License and Implementation of Medical Practice as well as Article 46 Act Number 44 of 2009 About Hospital that is Hospital is legally responsible for all the losses caused by negligence made by health personnel in the Hospital.

Abstract Introduction The aim of the survey was to assess the differences in disclosure by the type of violence to better plan the role of health services in identifying and disclosing violence. Methods A validated, anonymous screening questionnaire (NorAQ) for the identification of female victims of violence was offered to all postpartum women at a single maternity unit over a three-month period in 2014. Response rate was 80% (1018 respondents). Chi square test was used for statistical analysis (p<0.05 significant). Results There are differences in disclosure by type of violence. Nearly half (41.5%) of violence by health care services was not reported, compared to 33.7% physical, 23.4% psychological, and 32.5% sexual that was reported. The percentage of violence in intimate partnership reported to health care staff is low (9.3% to 20.8%), but almost half of the violence experienced by heath care services (44%) is reported. Intimate partnership violence is more often reported to the physician than to the psychologist or social worker. Violence in health care service is reported also to nurses. Conclusions Disclosure enables various institutions to start with the procedures aimed at protecting victims against violence. Health workers should continuously encourage women to speak about violence rather than asking about it only once. It is also important that such inquiries are made on different levels of health care system and by different health care professions, since there are differences to whom women are willing to disclose violence.
