Aims: The study aimed to analyze the determinants of village midwife performance in maternal and child health services.
Instrument & Methods: This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all village midwives in Muaro Jambi Regency, Jambi Province, with a sample of 171 midwives providing maternal and child health services. This study was conducted over a period of three months, from January to March 2024, with the data collection phase occurring between February and March 2024. The inclusion criteria required participants to have more than two years of experience as village midwives. The dependent parameter was the performance of the midwives in improving maternal and child health, while the independent parameters were supervision, training, and attitude.
Findings: 101 midwives (59.8%) had never attended training, while 139 (81.3%) had received training, and 119 midwives (69.9%) exhibited a predominantly positive attitude. The significant parameters associated with the performance of village midwives in the univariate analysis were age, education level, length of service, incentives outside salary (all with p-value=0.0001), and supervision within the past year (p-value=0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the significant parameters were age (p-value=0.035) and education level (p-value=0.037).
Conclusion: Considering the age and education level of midwives in the implementation and socialization of the Maternal and Child Health program enhancing the performance of village midwives is crucial.
