Analisis Pelaksanaan Posyandu Lansia Di Kecamatan Medan Deli Tahun 2015
ABSTRAK
Posyandu lansia merupakan suatu wadah pelayanan kepada lanjut usia
dimasyarakat, yang proses pembentukannya dan pelaksanaannya dilakukan oleh
masyarakat bersama Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM), lintas sektor
pemerintah dan non-pemerintah, swasta, organisasi sosial dan lain-lain, dengan
menitik beratkan pelayanan kesehatan pada upaya promotif dan preventif. Jumlah
kunjungan lansia di posyandu lansia Kecamatan Medan Deli pada Januari sampai
Desember 2014 yaitu hanya berjumlah 4.163 orang dari 14.739 orang lansia atau
sekitar 28,24%.
Tujuan penelitian yaitu untuk mengetahui analisis pelaksanaan posyandu
lansia di Kecamatan Medan Deli tahun 2015. Jenis penelitian adalah penelitian
kualitatif dengan metode observasi dan wawancara mendalam menggunakan
pedoman wawancara terhadap delapan informan yang terdiri dari Kepala
Puskesmas, Koordinator program posyandu, Camat, Lurah, kader posyandu dan
lansia.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rendahnya cakupan dikarenakan
tenaga pelaksana masih kurang, sarana dan prasarana masih minim karena dana
masih kurang sehingga kegiatan tidak semua dilakukan. Kader sudah berperan
dengan baik pada hari pelaksanaan posyandu dan setelah hari pelaksanaan
posyandu. Pengetahuan dari kader dan lansia masih rendah mengenai posyandu
lansia. Pelatihan/pembinaan kader kurang optimal dilakukan. Kerjasama yang
dilakukan pihak terkait dalam pelaksanaan posyandu lansia kurang optimal.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa posyandu lansia di
Kecamatan Medan Deli dinyatakan belum maksimal, maka diharapkan kepada
Kepala Dinas Kesehatan Kota Medan melengkapi sarana dan prasarana serta
memberikan pelatihan secara rutin bagi para kader. Diharapkan Pihak yang terkait
dapat melakukan kerjasama dan koordinasi dalam pelaksanaan posyandu lansia.
Diharapkan kepada Kepala Puskesmas dapat memotivasi tokoh masyarakat dalam
pembentukan kader kesehatan atau pembentukan kelompok yang peduli terhadap
kesehatan dan diharapkan tenaga pelaksana dapat lebih aktif menjalankan
perannya serta dapat memberikan sosialisasi atau penyuluhan kepada masyarakat
khususnya lansia agar ikut berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan posyandu lansia.

ABSTRACT
Posyandu (integrated service post) for the elderly is one of the service
facilities for old people. The process of its establishment and implementation was
performed by the people, Non-Government Organizations, government and nongovernment cross sectoral, private companies, social organizations, etc., by
focusing on promotion and prevention in health service. Of 14,739 old people in
Medan Deli Subdistrict, only 4,163 of them (28.24) visited posyandu from January
to December, 2014.
The objective of the research was to find out and to analyze the
implementation of posyandu for old people in Medan Deli Subdistrict, in 2015.The
research used qualitative method, by conducting observation and in-depth
interviews with eight informants that consisted of the Head of Puskesmas, the
Coordinator of posyandu program, the Subdistrict Head, the Village head,
posyandu cadres, and the elderly.
The result of the research showed that there was low coverage because of
the lack of cadres, the lack of facility and infrastructure because of the lack of
funds so that not all programs could be implemented. Cadres did the activity well
during and after posyandu although their knowledge of posyandu for old people
was still low. The training/development for them was not optimal, and
cooperation with the related agencies was also not optimal.
The result of the research was that posyandu for old people in Medan Deli
Subdistrict were considered as not maximal. It is recommended that the
management of Medan Health Service complete the facility and infrastructure and
provide training for cadres regularly. It is also recommended that collaboration
and coordination should be performed in implementing posyandu for old people.
The head of Puskesmas should motivate public figures in establishing health
cadres and the cadres should actively play their role in providing socialization
and counseling for the people, especially for old people, so that old people can
participate in the activities of posyandu for old people.
