The Level of Knowledge, Attitude, Practice, and Adherence of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Towards the Triple Elimination Program (HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis B) in Maternal Services at Government and Private Hospitals in Jakarta.

BACKGROUND: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Syphilis, and Hepatitis B significantly contribute to high morbidity and mortality rates associated with mother-to-child transmission (MTCT), particularly in developing nations. The study delves into the adherence levels of obstetricians and gynecologists to the Triple Elimination Program in Jakarta. METHODS: This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, conducted across government and private hospitals in Jakarta from January to December 2023. The study sample comprises obstetricians and gynecologists selected through consecutive sampling. Data collection involves questionnaires measuring knowledge, attitude, practice, and adherence, with validity and reliability assessed through pilot studies. RESULTS: Out of the 106 respondents, 47.2% lacked adequate knowledge of the Triple Elimination Program, while 52.8% demonstrated higher knowledge. Insufficient attitude was observed in 50% of respondents, with the remaining 50% reporting a good attitude towards the program. Inadequate practice was noted in 49% of respondents and 51% perceived themselves as having fair practice. Most respondents demonstrated only fair adherence (74.5%), whereas only 25.5% achieved good adherence. CONCLUSIONS: The research findings highlight existing gaps in knowledge, attitude, practice, and adherence among healthcare providers, emphasizing the need for improvement in these areas.
