Factors Related to Mothers' Compliance with Basic Immunization at The Baranti Community Health Center, Sidenreng Rappang Regency
📄 Abstract
Introduction: Immunization is the process of administering vaccines to stimulate the body's immune system to form antibodies and provide immunity against certain diseases. In Indonesia, children aged 12-23 months have reached a rate of 35.8 percent in following complete basic immunization. This achievement is still low compared to the number of children who are not fully immunized, which is 56.9 percent. This study aims to determine factors associated with maternal compliance with basic immunization, such as maternal knowledge, accessibility of health services, and family support. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. The sample consisted of 77 respondents selected using accidental sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed with the Chi-square test. Results: The characteristics of respondents from this study were classified based on the age of the child, so that the results showed that there was no significant relationship between maternal knowledge (p-value = 0.235), accessibility of health services (p-value = 0.589), and family support (p-value = 0.523), with maternal compliance with basic immunization (p> 0.05). Conclusion: This study found that maternal knowledge, accessibility of health services, and family support were not significantly associated with maternal compliance with basic immunization at the Baranti Health Center. This finding indicates that there are other factors that are more influential, so it needs to be studied further to support the success of the basic immunization program.
