摘要

Maternal mortality rate (AKI) in Pati district in 2011 increased to 24 cases (116.17/100000 live- births). Direct causes of maternal death were dominated by hemorrhage (3 cases or 12.5%), infection (2 cases or 8.33%), hypertension (8 cases or 33.33%), and eclamsia (1 case). Therefore, analysis of factors affecting the implementation of infection prevention actions in the delivery assisted by village midwives with post normal-delivery care (APN) training in Pati district was done. This was an observational study with cross sectional approach. The number of samples was 69 village midwives with post APN training. They were selected purposively according to the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through interview guided by structured questionnaire and through direct observation. Data were analyzed quantitatively by applying Chi Square test, Yate Correction, and linear logistic regression. Results of the study showed that respondents had good knowledge (76.2%), good attitude (75.0%), good motivation (71.4%), good perception on supervision (69.8%), complete instruments (70.8%), and good category for the implementation of infection prevention procedure (59.4%). Factors affecting the implementation of infection prevention procedure were knowledge (p= 0.001), attitude (p= 0.0001), motivation (p= 0.004), supervision (p= 0.046), instruments (p= 0.008). All variables (knowledge, attitude, motivation, supervision, and instruments) influenced the implementation of infection prevention procedure (p-value d” 0.05). However, the most influencing variables were attitude (p= 0.000, Exp(B) = 9.60) and knowledge (p= 0.001, Exp(B) = 6.40). Suggestions for district health office and IBI organization of Pati district are to give guidance to improve skills and knowledge of village midwives related to the job and function of midwives; it can be done through trainings, positive supervision mainly on infection prevention procedure in delivery assistance.
