Abstract

This article discusses issues related to measles-rubella vaccination from the perspective of epidemiology, immunology, and ethical challenges faced. Measles and rubella are infectious diseases that have the potential to cause extraordinary events (KLB) throughout the world, including Indonesia. Although measles-rubella vaccination has been proven effective in reducing the incidence of the disease, challenges such as low vaccination coverage due to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine hesitancy, and ethical issues related to parental consent and equal access to vaccines are significant obstacles. Research shows that to achieve effective community immunity, a vaccination coverage of at least 95% is required. This article also describes the immunological processes involved in the response to measles and rubella infection and the importance of public health efforts in increasing awareness and access to vaccines. With a comprehensive and inclusive approach, it is hoped that existing challenges can be overcome and community participation in vaccination programs can be increased. Collaboration between the government, health institutions, and the community is essential to create a healthier and safer environment, ultimately supporting the goal of eliminating measles and rubella in the future.

Abstract

In today's digital era, information technology has great potential to help reduce anxiety in pregnant women by providing accurate and easily accessible information. One of the innovations that has been developed is a mobile application specifically designed to support the health of pregnant women and babies. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of using the pregnancy and baby tracer application on the anxiety of pregnant women in the Pangkajene Health Center work area, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. The type of research used was a quasi-experimental study. The design used was a pretest-posttest with control group design. The population was all pregnant women who made pregnancy visits at the Pangkajene Health Center and a sample of 52 pregnant women with a classification of 26 pregnant women who were given pregnancy and baby tracer application intervention and 26 pregnant women only received ANC services. Anxiety was measured using the HARS questionnaire. Data analysis used Paired T-Test and Mann Whitney. The results of this study showed a decrease in anxiety scores after receiving pregnancy and baby tracer application intervention. The conclusion of the study is that there is an influence of the use of the pregnancy and baby tracer application on the anxiety of pregnant women in the Pangkajene Health Center work area.
