Abstract

Background: Universal immunization coverage among children in Indonesia is low compared to the global target. Many children in Indonesia are not fully immunized as recommended by the government, which results in a high mortality rate. The government has developed a mobile application (PrimaKu) to provide information on vaccinations and reminder features. However, the successful use of the immunization features of the app has not been widely studied. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the use of PrimaKu on maternal attitudes toward immunization and complete basic immunizations status among Indonesian children aged 12 to 24 months. Methods: A cross-sectional research was conducted at a public health center in West Java Province, Indonesia, from August to December 2020. Convenience sampling was used to select the respondents. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using binomial logistic regression. Results: A total of 119 mothers were included. About 44.5% of children had a complete basic immunization status. Mothers who had a supportive attitude toward immunization were 3.58 times (95% CI 1.49-8.57, p 0.003) more likely to complete the basic immunization, and those who used the mobile app were 3.23 times (95% CI 1.18-8.87, p 0.034) more likely to complete the immunization.  Conclusion: Using the PrimaKu mobile application could increase maternal attitudes toward immunization and complete basic immunization status. Therefore, public health nurses should provide comprehensive education and improve mothers’ literacy to use the application.

Abstract

Background: Anthropometric measurements during early childhood are critical as they represent the initial stages at which nutritional status is determined. Practitioners who measure children’s growth must have similar and adequate skills in anthropometric measurement to ensure the validity of data regarding children’s nutritional status, particularly concerning stunting prevalence. Objective: This study aimed to explore the measurement practices conducted by community health workers (CHWs) in Indonesia, who are responsible for providing data related to children’s growth and, consequently, their nutritional status. Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was employed using online focus group discussions ranging from 1 to 1.5 hours. Data were collected from ten health professionals and eight CHWs, with analysis performed using thematic analysis. Results: Four themes emerged: barriers to measurement accuracy, varied skills in measurement, mothers’ behavior influenced by children’s reactions, and strategies for dealing with traumatized children. Conclusion: Practical issues that arose during routine anthropometric measurements included the reliability of measurements, the skill levels of examiners, the interplay between mothers’ and children’s reactions, and approaches to managing traumatized children during measurements. To effectively enhance integrated health posts (Posyandu) services, it is crucial to maintain calibrated, validated equipment and implement comprehensive training with periodic refreshers for CHWs. Additionally, improving facility infrastructure, fostering CHWs’ communication skills, and simplifying child-friendly measurement procedures will collectively optimize service quality, promote cooperation, and strengthen community trust.
