Abstract

Purpose: MR immunization is a key program by the Indonesian government to support global measles and rubella elimination by 2020. However, MR immunization coverage remains low in West Sumatra, particularly at Simpang Empat Health Center, West Pasaman Regency. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes with MR immunization status in infants aged 12-24 months at Simpang Empat Health Center, Pasaman Regency. Methods: The research method used was observational analysis with a cross-sectional research design. Data were collected using a purposive sampling technique with a total of 112 mothers in Simpang Empat. Results: The study found that the ratio of infants aged 12–24 months without MR immunization to those with immunization was 1:1.5. Among immunized children, 67% of mothers had good knowledge, and 63% had a positive attitude. For unimmunized children, 51% of mothers had good knowledge, while 67% had a positive attitude. Bivariate and multivariate analyses showed no significant association between mothers’ knowledge (p = 0.09) or attitude (p = 0.67) and MR immunization status at Simpang Empat Health Center. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes of mothers with MR immunization status. Considering the variables of access to health services and access to health information, mothers with good knowledge have 3 times the opportunity to carry out MR immunization compared to mothers with poor knowledge.

Abstract

Purpose: Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a significant cause of illness and mortality in children under five, with those under two years being the most vulnerable. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated in 2017 that ARI contributed to up to 3 million deaths worldwide, particularly in low-income countries. In Indonesia, the 2018 Basic Health Research reported an ARI prevalence of 12.80%, while Lampung Province recorded a rate of 11.3%. In Central Lampung District, the prevalence of ARI with acute nasopharyngitis was 19.70%. One of the primary risk factors for ARI in toddlers is indoor air pollution, often linked to household cooking fuel. Biomass fuel combustion generates smoke and pollutants that can lead to respiratory infections. This study analyzed the association between household biomass fuel use and the incidence of ARI in toddlers in the Seputih Surabaya Health Center working area, Central Lampung, in 2020. Methods: This was an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional design. One hundred four participants from the Seputih Surabaya Health Center area were included. Univariable analysis was performed using frequency distribution tables, bivariable analysis utilized the Chi-Square test, and multivariable analysis applied logistic regression. Results: The findings indicated a significant relationship between household biomass fuel use and toddler's ARI incidence (p = 0.000). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that biomass fuel use contributed 25% to the risk of ARI in toddlers. Conclusion: Several factors, including biomass fuel use, maternal age, maternal education, toddler age, exclusive breastfeeding, exposure to cigarette smoke, and socio-economic status, were found to be associated with ARI incidence in toddlers.

Abstract

The number of low-birth-weight babies (LBW) who returned to the hospital after returning home had increased from 2015 to 2016. The results of the interview revealed that mothers who had LBW did not thoroughly understand providing care for LBW after returning from the hospital. This study aims to determine the effect of health education on a mother's knowledge, attitude and behaviour in providing care to LBW. This study is quasi-experimental with a pre-posttest approach non-equivalent to the control group, with 66 respondents fulfilling the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria in this study were post-partum mothers on the second day who had babies with a birth weight of 1500 grams-2499 grams and were willing to be respondents. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The statistical test employed independent t-test, paired t-test, and chi-square. Knowledge scores before and after treatment were significantly different in the intervention group and control group, with a p-value in the intervention group 0.00, while the knowledge and attitude scores in the control group were 0.00 and the behavioural scores were 0.11. There was a significant difference in the increase in knowledge, attitudes and behaviour scores in both groups. The p-value of knowledge and attitudes is 0.00, and the p-value of behaviour is 0.01. Hence, there is an increase in mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour after being provided with health education using a booklet.
