Keberhasilan kegiatan kesehatan lingkungan ditentukan oleh banyak faktor, baik dari pemerintah, lembaga non pemerintah, maupun masyarakat itu sendiri. Sanitarian Puskesmas sebagai pelaksana terdepan dari kegiatan kesehatan lingkungan, kinerjanya tentu mempunyai peran yang cukup besar dalam menentukan keberhasilan kegiatan tersebut.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kinerja sanitarian, tingkat kinerja sanitarian, hasil kegiatan kesehatan lingkungan, dan hubungan kinerja sanitarian dengan hasil kegiatan kesehatan lingkungan.
Penelitian dilaksanakan dengan metode survei dan responden adalah sanitarian penanggung jawab kegiatan kesehatan lingkungan di Puskesmas, yang telah bertugas di Puskesmas tempat tugasnya sekarang minimal 2 tahun, seluruhnya berjumlah 86 orang. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner dan analisa data dilakukan dengan analisa univariat, analisa bivariat dengan uji chi square, dan analisa multivariat dengan uji regresi logistik model prediksi.
Hasil penelitian diperoleh : tingkat pendidikan responden sebagian besar (74,4%) adalah SPPH, 57% responden belum banyak mengikuti pelatihan, 51,2% Puskesmas kurang tersedia peralatan kesehatan lingkungan, 72,1% responden kurang mendapat perhatian dari atasannya, 80,2% responden menerima insentif, 75,6% responden kurang mendapat bimbingan teknis, 50% Puskesmas tersedia pedoman/juklak kesehatan lingkungan, dan 88,4% responden mempunyai tugas rangkap. Kinerja sanitarian Puskesmas 68,6% termasuk kategori rendah dan hasil kegiatan kesehatan lingkungan 55,8% termasuk kategori rendah. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara kinerja sanitarian Puskesmas dengan hasil kegiatan kesehatan lingkungan. Variabel yang ada hubungan bermakna dengan kinerja sanitarian Puskesmas, yaitu : peralatan, perhatian, bimbingan teknis, dan pedoman/ petunjuk pelaksanaan. Variabel yang paling dominan berhubungan adalah pedoman/ petunjuk pelaksanaan.
Dari hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa rendahnya hasil kegiatan kesehatan lingkungan ada hubungannya dengan rendahnya kinerja sanitarian, dan rendahnya kinerja sanitarian ada hubungannya dengan ketersediaan pedoman, ketersedian peralatan, bimbingan teknis dan perhatian dari atasan. Disarankan kepada pimpinan instansi kesehatan di semua jenjang, untuk mengambil langkah-langkah dalam upaya memperbaiki/meningkatkan kinerja sanitarian Puskesmas, yang selanjutnya diharapkan dapat meningkatkan hasil kegiatan kesehatan lingkungan.
