Perencanaan program ibu care posyandu turry melalui peer support group

Background: Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) is a community-based health service that plays a crucial role in improving maternal and child health. However, at Posyandu Turry, there is still a lack of understanding and participation from mothers, which impacts the effectiveness of Posyandu services. Purpose: To identify problems at Posyandu Turry, prioritize problems using ultrasound methods, and plan an empowerment program that can increase community knowledge and participation in Posyandu activities on an ongoing basis. Method: This study identified problems at the Turry Integrated Health Post (Posyandu), determined priorities using the USG method, and developed an empowerment program using a qualitative case study approach and Participatory Action Research (PAR). Data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), observations, and document analysis. Results: The FGDs revealed that low community knowledge about the importance of Posyandu was the highest-scoring problem. This was due to limited access to information and a lack of engaging educational materials. Based on these findings, the "Ibu Care Posyandu" empowerment program was formulated to increase community knowledge and engagement through easier-to-understand education and consistent information delivery. Conclusions: Low community knowledge, minimal participation by mothers of toddlers, and limited skills of cadres contributed to the low effectiveness of the Turry Integrated Health Post (Posyandu) service. Through case studies and Participatory Action Research (PAR), these problems were collaboratively addressed through the development of a peer-support-based "Ibu Care Posyandu" program to increase community knowledge and engagement.
