| Abstrak/Abstract |
In facing the JKN era, knowledge of health workers is very important in improving the quality of services, both in the aspects of policy, services and also financing. Not only is it a challenge for the government in terms of distributing health workers, but this is a challenge for educational institutions to produce health workers who are competent in their scientific fields. Knowledge needs about JKN need to be given to prospective health workers and also health workers involved in the health service system. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the level of knowledge of STIKesPapua students about JKN based on gender, study program, student status and information. This research is a quantitative descriptive study using a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study was taken in total sampling from all III level students of the Public Health Science (IKM)and Nursing Study Program, amounting to 171 people. Data collection tool in this study is a questionnaire. The statistical test used was the Chi-Square test for bivariate analysis and the Linear Regression test for multivariate analysis with alpha 5%. The results of the study based on the Linear Regression test showed the value of the regression coefficient on the study program variables, that the level of knowledge of the Nursing study program students was 14% higher than the public health sciences study program. In the student status variable it is seen that the level of knowledge of students with non-regular status is 17% lower than students with regular status. In the information variable it can be seen that the level of knowledge gained from socialization is 6% lower than the knowledge obtained from the media. Meanwhile, the p-value of each variable is less than 0.05, meaning that these variables affect the level of student knowledge. Furthermore, it was concluded that the status of student affairs and sources of information influenced the level of knowledge of STIKesPapua students about JKN. Furthermore, attention is needed from policy makers to improve course curriculum and learning methods related to JKN in increasing student knowledge |
