Abstract
The elderly are one of the most vulnerable groups with very high dependency rates. This condition has the potential to cause other problems for the caregiver or his family. The elderly also has the potential to suffer from catastrophic diseases that have costly consequences. This research is a further analysis of Riskesdas 2013 data, that presented in descriptive quantitative. The results showed that elderly people living in urban as well as rural areas have a tendency of moderate access barrier to Puskesmas. There are still 15% of very poor elderly people who have major access barrier to Puskesmas. This study concludes that although elderly access to Puskesmas is quite good, but the access of very poor elderly is still need more attention. The government needs to provide basic health care facilities in more rural areas. The government also needs to realize a National Health Insurance with tax-based funding, to ensure universal coverage regardless of the ability to pay the community.
Abstrak
Lansia adalah salah satu kelompok rentan yang memiliki angka ketergantungan sangat tinggi. Kondisi ini berpotensi menimbulkan masalah lain bagi yang merawat atau keluarganya. Lansia juga berpotensi menderita penyakit katastropik yang menimbulkan konsekuensi biaya yang mahal. Penelitian ini merupakan analisis lanjut data Riskesdas 2013, yang disajikan secara deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lansia yang tinggal di perkotaan maupun perdesaan mempunyai kecenderungan hambatan akses sedang untuk ke Puskesmas. Masih ada 15% lansia sangat miskin yang memiliki hambatan besar ke Puskesmas. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa meski akses lansia ke Puskesmas sudah cukup baik, tetapi akses lansia yang sangat miskin masih perlu mendapat perhatian lebih. Pemerintah perlu menyediakan fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan dasar di wilayah perdesaan yang lebih banyak. Pemerintah juga perlu mewujudkan sebuah Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional dengan pendanaan berbasis pajak, untuk memastikan cakupan secara universal dengan tanpa menghiraukan kemampuan membayar masyarakat.
