Pelatihan bagi pimpinan puskesmas sudah sering dilakukan, salah satu pelatihan yang diberikan pada pimpinan Puskesmas Pagar Alam adalah pelatihan Leadership and Managerial Capacity Building (LMCB), namun sampai saat ini belum dievaluasi manfaat pelatihan LMCB terhadap Kepemimpinan dan Managerial Puskesmas Pagar Alam.
Untuk mengevaluasi manfaat pelatihan LMCB terhadap kepemimpinan dan Managerial Puskesmas Pagar Alam dilakukan penelitian analisa kualitatif dengan menggali informasi dari informasi Puskesmas Pagar Alam dan informan dari Puskesmas Indralaya Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ilir yang tidak mendapat pelatihan LMCB sebagai kontrol melalui wawancara mendalam, diskusi kelompok terarah dan observasi lapangan. Untuk melakukan validitas data dilakukan triangulasi yang meliputi metode, sumber dan analisis data.
Dari hasil penelitian didapat bahwa kemampuan kepemimpinan dan manajerial Puskesmas Pagar Alam yang mendapat pelatihan LMCB lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan kemampuan kepemimpinan dan manajerial Puskesmas Indralaya yang tidak mendapat pelatihan LMCB.
Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pelatihan LMCB bermanfaat terhadap peningkatan kemampuan kepemimpinan puskesmas. Sedangkan saran yang dianjurkan adalah agar pelatihan LMCB dilakukan pada puskesmas lain.
