ABSTRAKBidan yang dihasilkan Program Pendidikan Bidan belum sesuai dengan tujuan institusional sebagai penyuluh, meskipun perbaikan kurikulum, fasilitas dan sarana lainnya telah dilakukan secara bertahap. Demikian pula dengan pertemuan lintas sektoral, pelatihan guru bidan dan penambahan sarana lainnya untuk menunjang proses pembelajaran telah pula dilakukan, Yang menarik adalah bahwa pada hasil penelitian terdahulu ditemukan kurangnya kemampuan untuk melaksanakan komunikasi, informasi dan edukasi pada ibu, keluarga, dan masyarakat yang disebabkan oleh faktor yang berasal dari masyarakat dan persiapan bidan itu sendiri.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh informasi tentang pengetahuan dan keterampilan serta faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan pengetahuan dan keterampilan siswa bidan dalam memberikan penyuluhan kesehatan di Jawa Barat tahun 1998.Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian "cross sectional" dengan jumlah sampel 125 orang, Pengolahan data menggunakan analisis univariat, bivariat, dan multivariat dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak SPSS versi 6,0.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa institusi pendidikan berpengaruh terhadap pengetahuan dan keterampilan siswa bidan dalam memberikan penyuluhan kesehatan, setelah dikontrol oleh variabel penyuluhan ditempat kerja, penyuluhan saat PPB, lama kerja, dan nilai semester 1 mata ajaran 108.Kesimpulan hasil penelitian, (I) rata-rata nilai pengetahuan penyuluhan adalah baik, namun rata-rata nilai keterampilan adalah kurang, (2) ada hubungan yang bermakna antara penyuluhan di tempat kerja dengan pengetahuan dan keterampilan penyuluhan, (3) serta institusi pendidikan sangat berpengaruh terhadap pengetahuan dan keterampilan siswa bidan dalam memberikan penyuluhan kesehatan.Saran untuk meningkatkan pencapaian kemampuan penyuluhan kesehatan diperlukan perbaikan dalam proses pembelajaran yang mengarah kepada : "learning by doing" yang dimulai dengan simulasi dalam kelas sampai dengan praktek kerja di klinik Kegiatan penyuluhan dilakukan berulang-ulang dengan bimbingan guru; Kemajuan belajar dalam proses selalu dikaji secara kontinyu. Umpan balik harus diberikan sedini mungkin; Dan Ratio guru-murid tidak terlalu tinggi (1 : d).
