Pendanaan kesehatan merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalammemengaruhi derajat kesehatan, termasuk salah satu masalah gizi padabalita yang disebut gizi buruk. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuanmendeskripsikan pendapatan daerah dan pembiayaan kesehatan serta ko-relasinya dengan gizi buruk pada balita di tingkat kabupaten/kota diIndonesia tahun 2007. Penelitian ini merupakan studi ekologi/korelasi. Datapendapatan daerah dan pembiayaan kesehatan didapat dari KementerianKeuangan, sedangkan data gizi buruk menggunakan data Riset KesehatanNasional tahun 2007. Sebanyak 250 kabupaten/kota yang diteliti dengantidak mengikutsertakan kabupaten/kota yang datanya tidak lengkap atautidak valid. Secara nasional, hanya persentase pendapatan asli daerah(PAD) per total pendapatan yang berkorelasi dengan gizi buruk, meskipunkorelasinya lemah (r = 0,22). Berdasarkan kawasan di Indonesia, KawasanIndonesia Barat dan Kawasan Indonesia Timur menunjukkan persentasePAD per total pendapatan berkorelasi lemah dengan gizi buruk (r = 0,20 danr = 0,53). Terlihat kecenderungan bahwa semakin tinggi persentase pen-dapatan daerah dan pembiayaan kesehatan, semakin rendah persentasegizi buruknya. Korelasi antara pendapatan daerah, pembiayaan kesehatandan masalah status gizi tidak dapat diabaikan. Data yang lebih lengkap danvalid diperlukan untuk dikembangkan penelitian selanjutnya.Health financing is one of the factors which contribute important role in in-fluencing health status, including nutritional problem among children underfive, called severely wasted. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describedistricts income and health financing and examine it correlations with theprevalence of severely wasted among children under 5 years at regen-cies/municipalities level in Indonesia in 2007. This research was an eco-logical study. Data on revenue and health financing were obtained fromMinistry of Finance, and severely wasted data were obtained from theIndonesian Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2007. There are 250 re-gencies/municipalities were being objects of this research, while the otherswere excluded due to incomplete/missing or invalid data. Result shows na-tionally, only the percentage of local revenue by total district income had cor-relation with severely wasted, although it is weak (r = 0,22). By regions, inthe Western Region Indonesia and the Eastern Region Indonesia, thosevariable had weak correlation with severely wasted (r = 0,20 and r = 0,53).The graphics trend shows higher percentage of local revenue and health fi-nancing, related to lower number of the prevalence of severely wasted. Thecorrelation between district income and health financing for poor nutritionalstatus cannot be ruled out. More valid and complete data on district incomeand health financing is needed for further research. |
