Abstract

Background: Immunization is a highly effective public health intervention to reduce child morbidity and mortality. However, declining immunization coverage in several regions of Indonesia, including North Bengkulu Regency, reflects growing vaccine hesitancy. In Arga Makmur, concerns about post-immunization adverse events (KIPI) influence mothers’ decisions, indicating a shift in perceived susceptibility within the Health Belief Model. Objective: This study aimed to explore mothers’ perceived susceptibility related to childhood immunization and how these perceptions contribute to vaccine hesitancy in Arga Makmur, North Bengkulu. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted between October and November 2022 in the working area of the Argamakmur Community Health Center, North Bengkulu Regency, Indonesia. Nine mothers of children with incomplete immunization status were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s six-phase thematic analysis. Results: Four major themes emerged from the analysis: (1) fear that injections could cause illness in children, (2) suspicion regarding the safety of vaccines and medications, (3) perceptions that children were physically weak or unfit to receive immunization, and (4) fatalistic beliefs reflected in surrender to divine destiny. Mothers tended to perceive the risks associated with vaccination as more immediate and threatening than the risks posed by vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. These perceptions were reinforced by misinformation, social narratives, and personal observations of post-immunization reactions. Conclusion: Vaccine hesitancy among mothers in Arga Makmur is strongly associated with a shift in perceived susceptibility—from concern about infectious diseases toward fear of vaccine-related risks. Addressing this imbalance requires effective risk communication, strengthening trust in healthcare providers, counteracting misinformation, and implementing culturally and religiously sensitive health promotion strategies to improve immunization acceptance.

Abstract

Background: Hemodialysis therapy has physical and psychological effects that can affect patients' sleep quality and quality of life and exacerbate their condition. Poor quality of life affects patients' sleep quality, partly due to anxiety or stress. If hemodialysis patients experience many problems, it will affect their quality of life, including disruption to their daily activities. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between sleep quality and quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This study uses correlation and a cross-section. It uses PSQI and the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions. We used purposive sampling. There were 42 hemodialysis patients. Data collection was conducted in October 2024 at the PMI Hospital in Bogor City.Results: A total of 34 (81%) hemodialysis patients experienced poor sleep quality, while 16 (38.1%) experienced a moderate quality of life, and 9 (21.4%) experienced a low quality of life. There was a relationship between sleep quality and quality of life in hemodialysis patients, with a p-value < 0.004 and a correlation of -.435**.Conclusion: This means that poor sleep quality in hemodialysis patients will have an impact on their moderate to low quality of life. Sleep quality plays an important role in improving the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis patients can improve their sleep quality by creating a sleep schedule, exercising regularly, getting exposure to sunlight, and sleeping when they feel sleepy so that they do not feel tired.
