Implementasi Program Pelayanan Kesehatan Peduli Remaja (PKPR) dalam Integrasi Layanan Primer (ILP) di Puskesmas Batang Kuis Kabupaten Deli Serdang

Abstract

Adolescence is a crucial transitional phase marked by significant physical, cognitive, and psychosocial changes, often accompanied by various challenges. The Indonesian government addresses these issues through the Adolescent-Friendly Health Services (PKPR) program. The program's primary objective is to increase adolescents' utilization of public health centers and equip them with knowledge and skills for health problem prevention. This research investigates the implementation of the PKPR program at Batang Kuis Public Health Center based on a basic logic model: input, process, and output. The study employs a descriptive quantitative method supported by qualitative data. Information was gathered from 10 informants selected through purposive sampling, using interviews, observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) as data collection methods. Research findings indicate that in terms of input, the Human Resources (HR) at Batang Kuis Public Health Center have not received adequate training, and the PKPR team lacks an official Decree (SK). While the public health center is equipped with sufficient facilities and infrastructure, conditions in the affiliated schools are not yet ideal, and budget allocation remains insufficient. Regarding the process, Batang Kuis Public Health Center has implemented PKPR activities, but their execution has not reached full potential. Therefore, it's recommended that all PKPR officers receive comprehensive training, and the PKPR team should promptly obtain an official Decree. Furthermore, coordination and collaboration with schools need significant improvement to ensure the PKPR program operates effectively. Lastly, regular monitoring and evaluation of activities by the Health Office are necessary annually to ensure the program's sustainability and quality improvement.
