Determinan Perilaku Suami yang Mempengaruhi Pilihan Penolong Persalinan bagi Istri
Abstract: Culture often
gives limitation for women
in decision taking regarding
their health. In fact, husbands play an absolute
role to determine who will attend and
help the delivery.
Objective: To explore husbands’
behavior in choosing and
determining that will help
their wife’s delivery.
Methods: This is a
survey study using cross-sectional design. The samples were 110
husbands who had a wife delivering
in Pekuncen Sub District’s primary
health center, Banyumas District,
Central Java, during the period of
1 January 2005 – 31 December
2005.
Results: The variables
that had significant
relationship in choosing
and determining birth
attendant were husbands’ education OR
= 7.57 (95% Cl: 2.11
– 27.15), delivery cost OR = 6.77
(95% Cl: 2.06 – 22.28) and husbands’
trust OR = 0.15 (95% Cl: 0.04 –
0.55). Husbands with higher level of
education had an opportunity of 7.5
times increased to choose and determine the birth attendant compared to
those with lower lever of education. Husbands’ trust had
an opportunity of 7 times
decreased to choose and determine the
birth attendant compared to those with no trust to the birth attendant.
Expensive delivery cost would be 6.7 times increased the determination of the birth
attendant by health provider compared
to cheap delivery
cost. It was because
of some additional cost for
the health provider
that was relatively high. As
a result, mean distribution curve of
the birth attendant cost
would tend to go
to the right.
Conclusions: Husbands’ education, cost,
and trust factors were
the determinant factors
in choosing and determining who
would attend the
delivery.
