Abstract

Hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver caused by a virus, accounts for 1.1 million deaths globally each year, with 96% caused by hepatitis B and C. The National Program prioritizes the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PPIA), as 95% of hepatitis B transmissions occur vertically. Health education, which aims to change unhealthy behaviors, is more effective when supported by educational media such as pocket books, which are small, informative, visually appealing, and easy to carry, allowing individuals to access the material anytime. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health education using pocket books on Hepatitis B knowledge among brides-to-be at the Pahauman Community Health Center in Landak District. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-post test without a control group was employed, involving 31 female brides-to-be selected through total sampling. Participants received health education via pocket books, and their knowledge of Hepatitis B was assessed before and after the intervention. The results showed that after the intervention, the average knowledge score was 93.10, with a median of 90 and a standard deviation of 6.231, ranging from 80 to 100. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge, with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). In conclusion, health education using pocket books significantly enhanced the knowledge of prospective brides regarding Hepatitis B at the Pahauman Community Health Center in Landak District.

Abstract

Complete basic immunization is a key strategy in strengthening children’s immunity, preventing the transmission of infectious diseases, and reducing morbidity and mortality. However, immunization coverage in Indonesia remains suboptimal, as evidenced by the large number of children who did not receive complete basic immunization between 2017 and 2021. In West Kalimantan, immunization coverage is still below the national target, with Pontianak City achieving only 55% of the 95% Universal Child Immunization (UCI) target and Kubu Raya Regency reaching 68.3% as of December 2023. This study aimed to analyze the effect of booklet media on husbands’ knowledge and support regarding basic immunization. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest format. The study involved 83 respondents selected through non-probability sampling. Data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test to assess differences before and after the intervention. The results showed a statistically significant increase in both knowledge and support among husbands after the booklet intervention (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that booklet-based education is effective in improving husbands’ understanding and involvement in supporting basic immunization. In conclusion, the use of booklet media significantly enhances husbands’ knowledge and support regarding complete basic immunization in the Kuala Mandor B Community Health Center area, Kubu Raya Regency.
