- Abstract
Early detection at integrated health post in Kendal is only in growth aspect. Health workers and volunteers never measure and monitor developmental aspect among children. This makes developmental delay among them cannot be early detected and treated. Trained health volunteers (HV) are HV who are trained in children development measurements based on Pre-Screening Development Questionnaire (KPSP) and regularly monitor children. The aim was to know the effect of trained HV on HV’s knowledge and attitude about children development, and incidence rate of children with developmental delay detected. It was quasi experiment with pretest posttest control group design. Monitoring was conducted by HV once a month for 3 months in Pegulon and Patukangan Villages as experimental groups and Bandengan and Ketapang Villages as control groups. Collected data were analyzed with t-test. Knowledge posttest score among trained and untrained HV respectively was 74.2+5.07 and 67.9+4.37, while attitude was 80.9+4.53 and 71.0+4.48. There was difference of knowledge and attitude on children development between trained and untrained HV (p<0.001). Incidence rate of children with developmental delay detected by trained HV was 18 suspects per 1000 children-months. Trained HV was proven to increase detection rate of children with developmental delay in urban area.
