Abstract

Transmission of HIV from pregnant women to their children can be prevented by early examination
to VCT clinics. Cadres as the spearhead of community health play an essential role in encouraging
pregnant women to do test in VCT clinics. Commitment and motivation of the cadres are two
determining factors of the success in encouraging pregnant women to consult to VCT clinics. The
objective of this research is to investigate the effect of training about HIV which employs SALT
method on commitment and motivation to give pregnant women referral to VCT (voluntary
counseling and testing) clinic for HIV test. This research is a quasi experimental research involving
50 intervention groups and 50 control groups as the samples. The experiment groups were given
training by using SALT method while the control groups were given only the HIV modul. The data
were analyzed by using Wilcoxon Sign Rangk Test dan Mann Whitney U Test.The research findings
shows that difference test on the control groups indicates no difference between pre-test and posttest
with p-value of commitment is 0.494 and p-value of motivation is 0.141, which are bigger than
α (0.05). On the other hand, the result of different test on treatment group by using Mann-Whitney U
test shows that p-value of commitment is 0.020 and p-value of motivation is 0.015, which are both
less than α (0.05). The result indicates that there is a significant difference between control group
and treatment group. Therefore, it can be concluded that training using SALT method can increase
motivation and commitment of cadres so that they are able to give pregnant women referral to VCT
clinic.
