Abstract

Insufficient use of Excel menus and formulas has been observed among certain medical personnel at Sokaraja 1 Health Center. Similar reports were also obtained for SPSS, QGIS and Rapidminer. The purpose of this study is to strengthen the use of statistical software by health workers to improve information management. An action research methodology was applied, subsequently the training was conducted using Google Meet and relevant statistical software e-module media, Ms Excel, SPSS, QGIS, and Rapidminer for 6 consecutive sessions. The results showed that knowledge and skills increased by 104 and 100%, respectively. These performances confirmed that the statistical software trainings were very significant in facilitating the operations of health workers, with enhanced knowledge and skills.
