HUBUNGAN PENGETAHUAN, SIKAP DAN FAKTOR SOSIAL BUDAYA DENGAN PEMILIHAN PENOLONG PERSALINAN DI WILAYAH KERJA PUSKESMAS SAYUNG I KECAMATAN SAYUNG KABUPATEN DEMAK TAHUN 2002

Pelayanan pertolongan persalinan merupakan pelayanan kesehatan, artinya masyarakat akan mencari pelayanan yang diinginkan untuk kesehatannya dan pencarian tersebut dapat ke tenaga kesehatan maupun tenaga non kesehatan. Karena persalinan merupakan saat khusus sekaligus kritis dalam kehamilan untuk itu ibu dan keluarga perlu disiapkan dengan baik. Menurut Green, perilaku dipengaruhi oleh tiga faktor yaitu faktor predisposisi, pendukung dan pendorong, begitu juga dengan perilaku pemilihan penolong persalinan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui pengetahuan, sikap dan faktor sosial budaya (tingkat pendidikan, sikap dan budaya) dengan pemilihan penolong persalinan. Desain penelitian ini adalah analitik obsevasional dengan jenis penelitian studi crossectional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 89 responden, yang terbagi dalam 69 responden dimana penolong persalinannya adalah tenaga kesehatan dan 20 responden yang ditolong tenaga non kesehatan. analisis data yang dilakukan adalah analisa univariat dan analisa bivariat. Hasil analisa bivariat didapatkan, ada hubungan bermakna tingkat pengetahuan responden dengan pemilihan penolong persalinan (x22 = 13,873 dan p = 0,0001), ada hubungan bermakna tingkat pendidikan dengan pemilihan penolong persalinan (x2 = 18,213 dan p = 0,0001), ada hubungan bermakna budaya dengan pemilihan penolong persalinan (x2 = 6,043 dan p = 0,014) dan tidak ada hubungan bermakna pekerjaan dengan pemilihan penolong persalinan (x2 = 0,0001 dan p = 1,000). Dengan hasil tersebut diharapkan pihak Puskesmas Sayung I lebih menggiatkan kegiatan Gerakan Sayang Ibu, Suami Siaga, Keluarga Siaga, Masyarakat Siaga dan Desa Siaga untuk meningkatkan peran serta masyarakat dalam upaya peningkatan status kesehatan masyarakat khususnya penurunan jumlah persalinan yang ditolong oleh dukun. Kata Kunci: Pengetahuan, Sikap, Sosial Budaya dan Pemilihan Penolong THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND SOCIAL CULTURE FACTOR AND THE CHOICE OF THE MATERNITY HELPER IN THE WORK AREA OF PUBLIC HEALTH CENTRE SAYUNG I SAYUNG DISTRIC DEMAK CITY,2002 The service of maternity helper is a health service, it means that the society will find service expected for their own health. And finding of such service can be gained through health staff or non-health staff. As maternity is specific and critical event in pregnancy, so mother and her family need preparing well. According to Green, attitude is effected by three factors i.e predisposition, supporter and motivator factors and also the attitude of the choice of the maternity helper. the purpose of the investigatioan is to know the correlation between the knowledge, attitude and social culture factor (education, profession and culture level) and the choice of the maternity helper. The design of this investigation is observasional anality with cross sectional planning. The sum of the sample is 89 respondents, which is divided into 69 respondents whose maternity are helped by health staff and 20 respondents helped by non-health staff. The data analysis done was univariat and bivariat analysis. The result of the bivariat analysis was that there is meaningfull correlation between knowledge level of the respondent and the choice of the maternity helper (x2 = 14,724 and p = 0,001), there is meaningfull corelation between the attitude and the choice of maternity helper (x2 = 13,873 and p = 0,0001), there is correlation between the education level and the choice of maternity helper (x2 = 18,213 and p = 0,0001), there is correlation between the culture and the choice of maternity helper (x2 = 6,043 and p = 0,0145)and there is not correlation between the profession and the choice of maternity helper.

Karyotypic variation in the Andean rodent Phyllotis xanthopygus (Waterhouse, 1837) (Rodentia, Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae)

Phyllotis xanthopygus (Waterhouse, 1837) is an Andean rodent endemic to South America. Despite its wide geographical distribution in Argentina, few individuals have been studied on the cytogenetic level and only through conventional staining. In this work, chromosome characterization of Argentine samples of this species was performed using solid staining, C-banding and base-specific fluorochromes. Twenty two specimens were analyzed, collected in the provinces of Jujuy, Catamarca, and the north and south of Mendoza. All studied specimens showed 2n=38, having mostly the bi-armed autosomes, metacentric or submetacentric. Fundamental Number varied between 70 and 72. These changes were due to the presence of chromosome heteromorphisms in individuals from southern Mendoza and Jujuy. C-banding revealed pericentromeric blocks of constitutive heterochromatin in most chromosomes. Acrocentric chromosomes involved in heteromorphisms showed high variation in the amount of heterochromatin within and among populations. Additionally, banding with fluorochromes (DAPI and chromomycin A3) revealed homologous localization of AT and GC rich regions among chromosomes of the different populations analyzed. Comparisons among heteromorphic pairs suggested, however, that the variation might be the result of complex chromosome rearrangements, involving possibly amplifications and/or deletions of heterochromatic segments. These results are in accordance with molecular studies that indicate genetic variability within and among the populations of this taxon.Fil: Labaroni, Carolina Alicia.
