Background: The most frequent congenital endocrine disorder in children is congenital hypothyroidism (CH). In Indonesia, CH¡¯s prevalence is greater than the data currently available. However, CH newborn screening has only been carried out in a few locations across Indonesia. Therefore, there is a need to raise primary healthcare practitioners' understanding of the CH Screening Program.
Materials and Methods: This study used a pre-posttest design to gauge the healthcare professionals' knowledge of newborn congenital hypothyroid screening. After intervention, a post-test was given. The categorical measures' descriptive statistical analysis results were presented as a mean, median, percentage (%), and frequency (n) distribution table. The improvement in healthcare professionals' understanding of newborn CH screening was evaluated using the Paired Samples test. The cutoff for statistical significance was p<0.05 using SPSS version 20.0.
Results: In our study, most of the participants were midwives with a total of 21/53 (39.62%) followed by nurses with 19/53 (35.83%). There was also an increase in the score where previously in the pretest only 1 person got a score above 80, then it increased to half of the participants, namely 49.06% (26/53) who got better scores. months and 37/54 (68.5%). With the Paired Sample test, we prove that there is a significant increase in the participants' scores, and the data obtained is p<0.05, which means that there is an increase in the average data from the pretest to the post-test.
Conclusion: There was an improvement in pre-posttest knowledge of healthcare who had been given education about CH newborn screening.
