Abstract

Background: In the current era of regional autonomy, local goverments have wider scope of authority in making their policies according to their capacities and their needs. To improve access to health care and equitable health service, the Goverment of Seruyan District made a policy to build two District Hospitals. This policy was made due to the area of Seruyan District that is very widespread. In its implementation, this policy has been confronted with many obstacles, among other is limited human resources and funding, and low utilization of health facilities and services by community. Objective: To determine the extent of utilization of the two hospitals and to determine the factors corresponding to the utilization of the two District Hospitals in Seruyan Districy. Metodhs: This study is a descriptive study with a qualitive approach supported by a quantitive approach. Hospital utilization data are obtained by examining the available data in both District Hospitals in Seruyan District and two other hospitals in the neighboring district, and also by interviewing some people in Seruyan District. Samples are determined using two stage cluster sampling. To further investigate the issue of hospital utilization, in-depth interviews are conducted both with people using the hospitals and with people not using the hospitals in Seruyan District. The data will be quantitatively analyzed and further explore qualitatively. Results: The result findings show that there is a correlation between the distances of home and hospital and seeking treatment at the hospital, there is a correlation between the means of transportation to the hospital and seeking treatment at the hospital, there is a correlation between travel time to the hospital and seeking treatment at the hospital, there is a correlation between the ease of transportation to the hospital and seeking treatment at the hospital, there is a correlation between cost of transportation to the hospital and seeking treatment at the hospital, there is no correlation between the expenses and seeking treatment at the hospital, and there is a correlation between people’s knowledge and seeking treatment at the hospital. Conclusion: In terms of its utilization and manpower, the construction of two hospitals in Seruyan District is ineffective. However, factors correlating with hospital utilization are distance, transportation, travel time, ease of transportation, transportation cost dan knowledge, and government should pay attention to these factors to improve utilization.
