The Function of Cadres in Putting Child Development Stimulation, Detection, and Early Intervention Programs into Practice

by

Authors: Uke Maharani Dewi, Hinda Novianti, Annif Munjidah, Elly Dwi Masita, Nur Zuwariah

In 2020, child healthcare coverage in East Java dropped to 83.3%, and Surabaya’s coverage, while 91.59% in 2019, still didn’t meet the 100% target. One reason for this was the incomplete implementation of programs for early detection and intervention in child development (SDIDTK) at the community level. This study looked at how community health workers, called cadres, helped with these programs. Out of seven key tasks, the cadres completed only two consistently: measuring growth and recording it. Two tasks—completing child identity forms and using a checklist to track development—were not done by any of the cadres.
