Abstract

Measles Rubella (MR) immunization is a vaccine aimed at preventing measles and rubella. MR are infectious diseases that can affect anyone, both children and young adults, and can cause serious health problems. These diseases can lead to severe complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, congenital defects, and even death. Despite being an effective preventive measure, MR immunization coverage has shown a significant decline in recent years, from 88% in 2022 to only 42.4% in 2024. In Padang City, the MR immunization coverage among grade 1 students in 2024 were only 33.1%, far below the national target of 90%. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the low coverage of MR immunization in Padang City. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The total sample consisted of 136 respondents, specifically mothers who have children enrolled in grade 1 of elementary school. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square statistical tests to identify relationships between variables. The results indicated a significant relationship between attitude, belief, and family support with MR immunization coverage. In contrast, there was no significant relationship between knowledge, health worker support, and community leader support. Among all analyzed variables, belief (22.962), family support (5.606), and attitude (7.148) had the strongest influence on immunization coverage. Therefore, it is recommended that the Health Office and Nanggalo Health Center enhance targeted health promotion strategies and community engagement to improve Measles Rubella immunization coverage.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) can reduce the patient's quality of life. An important aspect in influencing the quality of life for CHD patients is self-care and family support for CHD patients, but this is often overlooked. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-care and family support and the quality of life of patients with CHD at the Cardiac Clinic of RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. A cross-sectional approach was used in this study. Totaly 303 participants were recruited in this study using purposive sampling technique. Instrument used were the MacNew Heart Disease Health-related Quality of Life Questionnaire, Self-Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory and family support questionnaires. The data analysis used was the Spearman rank test. The results showed that mean score of self-care was 64.95 (SD± 5.993), mean score of family support was 38.73 (SD± 2.827) and mean score of quality of life of was 143.96 (SD± 11.25). There was a relationship between self-care and quality of life (r=0.500; p= 0.001) and there was a relationship between family support and the quality of life of CHD patients (r=0.416; p=0.001). Self-care and family support were positively related to quality of life at moderate level. Patients need to improve their ability to perform self-care while family members need to provide supports to patients in order to increase patients’ quality of life. Health education about self-care needs to be provided to patients and their families to improve self-care skills and the quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease.
