Structured evidence summary
Research question
The study examines the level of knowledge, attitude, practice, and adherence of obstetricians and gynecologists to the Triple Elimination Program addressing HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B in maternal services in Jakarta.
Study design
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at government and private hospitals in Jakarta from January to December 2023, using questionnaires administered to obstetricians and gynecologists selected by consecutive sampling, with pilot testing for validity and reliability.
Population and setting
The sample consisted of 106 obstetricians and gynecologists working in government and private hospitals in Jakarta, recruited through consecutive sampling.
Main findings
Among 106 respondents, 47.2% lacked adequate knowledge and 52.8% had higher knowledge of the Triple Elimination Program. Half (50%) had insufficient attitudes while 50% had good attitudes; 49% reported inadequate practice and 51% fair practice. Adherence was mostly fair (74.5%), with only 25.5% achieving good adherence.
Public-health relevance
The findings point to gaps in provider knowledge, attitudes, practice, and adherence related to a program aimed at reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B, underscoring the need for targeted improvement efforts in maternal services.
Important limitations
The abstract does not state explicit limitations. This summary is limited to the supplied single-article abstract and metadata, and the original paper is required for decision-grade interpretation.
GIDS interpretation
The study provides contextual evidence on provider-level readiness for triple elimination of mother-to-child transmission in Jakarta. No connection to a live surveillance signal is made here; any integration with current surveillance data would require the full paper and external sources.
Related GIDS surveillance
Literature context does not validate, explain, or change a surveillance signal. Exact and contextual relationships are shown separately.
