FACTORS AFFECTING MOTHERS ON BASIC IMMUNIZATION STATUS IN INFANTS AGED 12-24 MONTHS IN BARINGIN RAYA VILLAGE WORKING AREA OF PAMATANG RAYA PUSKESMAS DISTRICT

The decline in the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in recent times illustrates an increase in the quality of life and public health services. The decrease in IMR was partly due to an increase in the coverage of infant immunization, an increase in the coverage of deliveries by health personnel, the placement of midwives in villages and an increase in the proportion of mothers with higher education. According to Ibrahim (2006) said that if basic immunization is carried out in a complete and regular manner, then immunization can reduce the morbidity and mortality of children under five by around 80-95%. Regular means adhering to the immunization schedule and frequency while complete basic immunization is having received all types of basic immunization when the child was less than 11 months old. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the mother's basic immunization status in infants aged 12-24 months in Baringin Raya Village, Working Area of ​​the Pamatang Raya Health Center, Simalungun Regency, in 2016. The research method was carried out quantitatively with a descriptive correlation design with a cross approach. sectional. The subjects of this study were mothers who had babies aged 12-24 months who were recorded in the Baringin Raya Village in the working area of ​​the Pamatang Raya Health Center, as many as 40 respondents. The sampling technique for the mother group was using purposive sampling. Statistical analysis used the chi-sguare test. Statistical results show that there is a relationship between age (p value = 0.001, OR=0.008), education (p value=0.004, OR=7.286), occupation (p=0.001, OR=0.086), number of living children (p value=0.000, OR=0, 014) and knowledge (p=0.00, OR=0.014). It is hoped that it will provide insight and knowledge about the importance of basic immunization in infants.

Risk factors for childhood pneumonia: a case-control study in a high prevalence area in Indonesia.

BackgroundAcute respiratory infections (ARIs), especially pneumonia, remain a major cause of infant mortality worldwide. In Indonesia, pneumonia is the second most common cause of infant and toddler deaths. Exclusive breastfeeding and basic immunization can protect infants and children from contracting pneumonia.PurposeOur goal was to assess the risk factors for childhood pneumonia in regions with a high prevalence of pneumonia in Indonesia.MethodsThis case-control study was conducted between March and April 2019. A total of 176 infants and toddlers aged 10–59 months were enrolled and selected from among patients who visited the community health center. Cases of pneumonia were diagnosed clinically based on the World Health Organization guidelines, and the control was nonpneumonia.ResultsThe risk factors for the diagnosis of pneumonia included no or nonexclusive breastfeeding (odds ratio [OR], 7.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.52–17.94), incomplete basic immunizations (OR, 4.47; 95% CI, 2.22–8.99), indoor air pollution (OR, 7.12; 95% CI, 3.03–16.70), low birth weight (OR, 3.27; 95% CI, 1.19–8.92), and a high degree of wasting (OR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.06–7.17). Other variables such as nutritional status (height-for-age z score), age, sex, and educational status of the mother were not risk factors for pneumonia.ConclusionNo or nonexclusive breastfeeding, incomplete basic immunizations, indoor air pollution, a history of low birth weight, and severe malnutrition were risk factors for childhood pneumonia. Breastfeeding was the dominant factor, while sex modified the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of pneumonia.

Data collection on stunting events in infants was obtained from secondary data captured at Pekauman Public Health Services, while data on maternal age, maternal education level, maternal height, history of birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, completeness of basic immunizations, parity, family income and history of pregnancy KEK (chronic energy deficiency) were obtained with the interview method using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed univariate maternal statistics, bivariate statistical Chi Square test statistically there was no relationship between using age, maternal height, history of birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, completeness of basic immunizations, parity, family income, and history of pregnancy KEK (chronic energy deficiency) with stunting in children under five years. Statistically there is a significant relationship between mother's education level and the incidence of stunting in children under five years in Banjarmasin Pekauman Public Health Services working area. The mother's education level variable is the dominant variable with Odds Ratio of 2.072. Odds Ratio 2.072 means that the low level of education of mothers has the risk of stunting and multivariate statistical tests using the enter method using a computer program with a 95% confidence level. Based on the results of the study it was found that in infants by 2,072 times greater than the mother's high level of education. It is recommended that comprehensive and intensive education about parenting during the First 1,000 Days of Life is needed, in order to be able to change the mindset of mother who have children under five years about the importance of nutrition in children under five years to health

LOW BIRTH WEIGHT AND IMMUNIZATIONS STATUS: RISK FACTORS OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTION IN CHILDREN 2-5 YEARS

Background: Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in children under five years old (toddlers) worldwide, especially in developing countries. ARI is an acute upper or lower respiratory tract disease that occurs acutely, usually transmitted with mild to lethal symptoms. Various risk factors cause a high incidence of ARI cases in infants, including low birth weight (LBW) and incomplete immunization. Children aged 2-5 years are expected to have received basic immunizations and complete tests according to age to have a stronger immunity to ARI than children aged less than two years. Objective: To determine the relationship of LBW and immunization history with ARI events in children aged 2-5 years.Methods: This is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design using 31 samples of ARI and non-ARI pediatric patients treated at the PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Surakarta. Samples were determined using a purposive technique - meaning that samples were taken according to specific criteria. The population was pediatric patients aged 2-5 years diagnosed with ARI: common cold, nasopharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and SARS. This study's study populations are pediatric patients aged 2-5 years who were outpatient at PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital Surakarta in December 2019. Therefore, the number of samples is calculated using the Sample Formula for Study Groups with Different Sample Sizes, and data was taken employing a patient's parent interview.Results: There were 31 patients with details of 17 ARI and 14 non-ARI. Fisher's test showed there was no relationship between LBW and ARI (p-value = 0.597, p> 0.05 and Prevalence Ratio = 1.286). And there was no significant relationship between the history of immunization with ARI (p-value = 0.287, p> 0.05 and Prevalence Ratio = 2.5).Conclusions: There is no significant relationship between LBW and immunization history with ARI in children aged 2-5 years.

Update and practical advice for travel vaccinations and consultations in primary care

Update and practical advice for travel vaccinations and consultations in primary care Abstract. Health issues during travels are common. Infections are amongst the most frequent problem besides accidents and cardiovascular events. Prevention is based on avoiding risks, drug prophylaxis and vaccinations. This article focuses on travel vaccinations and aims to provide a general update and practical advice for travel consultations in primary care. Vaccine-preventable infections are systematically summarized, including a specific risk assessment for children, general vaccination indication, vaccination schedule, and information particularities of specific vaccines. Updating the vaccination status is often neglected in regular GP consultations for adult patients. Appointments for travel advice are therefore an ideal and important means of checking and completing the recommended basic and booster immunizations. Travel immunizations typically aim at providing an individual protection from infection. In contrast, basic vaccinations also consider altruistic aspects such as herd immunity. Since ambivalence or skepticism about vaccination is widespread, this discrepancy may result in discussions. Travel consultations may therefore generate opportunities to clarify general ambivalences towards vaccinations. Based on the concept of "Motivational Interviewing", we show communicative possibilities to reduce ambivalence and resistance and ideally to promote the willingness to vaccinate through shared decision-making.

Level Knowledge of Mother's About Side Effects of Immunization on Compliance with Completeness Immunization for Toddlers in the Posyandu Area of Pakisaji Health Center

Background: The number of mothers whose babies do not get complete immunizations because mothers do not bring their babies to the posyandu or at the puskesmas for immunization because some of the heat when immunization will be carried out and the availability of time for working mothers so that they always delay immunization for toddlers so that there are still some mothers who have low levels of immunization. Low knowledge is one of the factors that cause mother's level of education to be anxious about bringing her baby to immunization. Method: The population was 35 respondents, namely mothers of children under five in the posyandu area of the Pakisaji Public Health Center. The sampling technique in this research is Simple Random Sampling. for research results using the contingency coefficient. Results: Data management and analysis using the coefficient of congruence test. The results of this study indicate that the mother's knowledge level (50%) and maternal compliance are 23 people (71.9%). The results of the coefficient of congruence test showed that the P-value = 0.014. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between mother's knowledge about immunization side effects and compliance with the completeness of basic immunization for toddlers in the Posyandu area of Puskesmas Pakisaji

The instruments were maternal and child health book and questionnaires. The data were analyzed using chi square test. The results showed that p value 0.001 < 0.05 that there were any correlation of knowledge about covid-19 and the timeliness of basic immunization in infants. The sufficient knowledge of parents about covid-19 made parents hesitate to immunize their infants. Providing basic immunization to infants during a pandemic is not prohibited as long as they comply with health protocols.

Analisis Kluster Kejadian Stunting pada Balita di Provinsi Kalimantan Timur

Malnutrition is still a major problem in Indonesia. Stunting (short stature) is a form of malnutrition in which a very short and short stature exceeds a 2 SD deficit below the median length or height of the population. The prevalence of short and very short toddlers nationally according to Riskesdas 2018 reaches 30.8%. The incidence of stunting in East Kalimantan Province in 2017 reached 30.86%, but there is no area categorization based on the prevalence of stunting in each Public Health Service (PHS). It is need to conduct the reseacrh to cluster the incidence of stunting based on other health parameters. The unit analysis of this study was 187 PHS in East Kalimantan Province, the data source was obtained from the Health Profile of the East Kalimantan Province, the data analysis used K-mean cluster with alpha 5%. The determination of the cluster is based on the incidence of stunting, LBW, Exclusive Breastfeeding and Complete Basic Immunization (CBI) in East Kalimantan Province. The results showed that there were 3 PHS clusters in East Kalimantan Province. Cluster 1 consists of 77 PHS with low incidence rates of stunting and LBW of 18.1% and 7.13%, cluster 2 consists of 109 PHS with low rates of stunting and LBW namely 8.04% and 2.7%, while cluster 3 consisted of 1 PHS with incidence of stunting, LBW and CBI above the total average, namely 15.2%, 12.5% and 323.8%. The highest incidence of stunting is at PHS Cluster 1 wich having a low coverage of Exclusive breasfeeding and CBI. It is more influenced by the topography of the Kutai Kartanegara area, where several areas are located on the coast and inland so the health workers get difficulties in accessing the community because they have to be reached by sea, river and lake.

Impact of Parental Migration on Health of Left Behind Children

After the adoption of liberal economic policy, Nepal entered into the international work force market. Human resource moves abroad seeking for employment opportunities. The globalization of workforce on one hand benefit to the country with a huge amount of inward remittance and on the other brings different bi-products in the country. The physical and emotional effects on the left-behind children [LBC] have come on the forefront as a burning issue. Absence of parents in the family has resulted in children’s sedentary and complicated life as well. 
 
 However, health-related problems such as cough or respiratory difficulties and diarrhoea have been a major concern among the LBC. The absence of guardians results in nutritional problems such as height / weight for the age. Out of the parents, mother’s migration results in severe consequences. It does not only have an effect on children’s basic immunization and breastfeeding, but also effects on personal hygiene and sanitation. However, affordability of better diet, fancy outfits and health care facilities has been available to LBC with their growing access to remittance.

The Differences in Maternal Compliance in Completing Basic Immunization between Two Groups

Immunization programs have been implemented in Indonesia since 1956. Although the government has established a complete basic immunization program for infants aged 0-12 months, there are still more than 1.4 million child deaths in the world each year due to various infectious diseases which can basically be prevented by immunization. Low basic immunization coverage in infants is certainly related to parental non-compliance in fulfilling basic immunization in infants. The purpose of this study was to measure the differences in maternal compliance in completing basic immunization in infants given MCH (Maternal Child Health) book and booklet with those given MCH book only. This study used a quasy experiment design with quantitative methods with a sample of 76 respondents by simple random sampling. This research was conducted in August-October 2017 in Pir Batee Puteh Woyla Barat health center (Puskesmas). The results of this study indicate that there are differences in maternal compliance in completing basic immunization in infants given MCH book and booklet with only those given MCH book. Immunization health education interventions based on the MCH book and booklet can improve the mother's compliance in completing her baby's immunization. PERBEDAAN KEPATUHAN IBU DALAM MELENGKAPI IMUNISASI DASAR DI ANTARA DUA KELOMPOK Program imunisasi mulai dilaksanakan di Indonesia sejak tahun 1956. Meskipun pemerintah telah menetapkan program imunisasi dasar lengkap pada bayi usia 0–12 bulan, masih terdapat lebih dari 1,4 juta kematian anak di dunia setiap tahun karena berbagai penyakit menular yang pada dasarnya dapat dicegah dengan imunisasi. Cakupan imunisasi dasar yang rendah pada bayi berkaitan dengan ketidakpatuhan orangtua dalam memenuhi kelengkapan imunisasi dasar. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengukur perbedaan kepatuhan ibu dalam memenuhi kelengkapan imunisasi dasar pada dua kelompok. Sampel adalah kelompok ibu yang diberikan buku Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak (KIA) dan booklet , serta kelompok ibu yang diberikan buku KIA saja. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasy-experiment dan metode kuantitatif dengan sampel 76 responden yang dipilih secara simple random sampling . Penelitian dilakukan pada Agustus–Oktober 2017 di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Pir Batee Puteh, Kecamatan Woyla Barat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kepatuhan ibu dalam memenuhi kelengkapan imunisasi dasar pada ibu yang diberikan buku KIA dan booklet dengan ibu yang hanya dibrikan buku KIA. Intervensi pendidikan kesehatan imunisasi berdasar atas buku KIA dan booklet dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran ibu tentang pentingnya imunisasi pada bayi sehingga meningkatkan kepatuhan ibu dalam melengkapi imunisasi bayinya.

Knowledge And Anxiety About The Immunization Effect On Motivation Of Mother Giving Full Basic Immunization

Understanding of mothers about immunization is very necessary because with high knowledge about immunization, it is expected that mothers want to fully immunize their children and not be afraid or anxious. Objective To find out the level of knowledge and anxiety about the effects of immunization on the motivation of mothers to provide complete basic immunization in the UPTD area of ​​Paleleh Health Center, Buol Regency.
 The design used in the study was cross sectional. Population is all mothers who have babies / toddlers. The sample size was 188 respondents using Purposive Sampling techniques. Independent variables of research are Knowledge and anxiety. The dependent variable is motivation. Data was collected using a questionnaire, then data were analyzed using the Spearman Rho test, with a significance level of α ≤ 0.05.
 The results showed that more than half of respondents had enough knowledge as many as 99 respondents (52.7%), had mild anxiety as many as 86 respondents (45.7%), had sufficient motivation as much as 82 respondents (43.6%). The results of the study with a <0.05 found that knowledge (p = 0,000) and anxiety (p = 0,000) on motivation with p <a, so it can be concluded that H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected which means that there is a relationship between Knowledge and Anxiety About Immunization Effects Against the Motivation of Mothers Giving Complete Basic Immunization in the UPTD Working Area of ​​Paleleh Health Center, Kab.
 The better motivation of the mother to do motivation can be influenced by good knowledge and the level of anxiety the mother has about immunization to be carried out

Impact of Covid-19 on the Outcomes of Basic Immunization in Health Facilities

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of Covid 19 on basic immunization coverage, oriented to the number of Covid 19 cases mapped in the red, yellow, and green. This research provides the advantage of making a policy to improve children's health during a pandemic, particularly in preventing diseases that can be anticipated by immunization, such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, hepatitis, tetanus, meningitis, polio, and measles. This research can also be used as a basic for immunization in health facilities while still implementing health protocols. This study's results can be implemented in primary health facilities such as the Puskesmas, Posyandu, Poskesdes, or Midwife Independent Practice. This study's results indicate that immunization coverage <95% is mostly found in the red zone area of Pentabio 1 and 2 immunization, as well as measles. Chi-square test found that there was no significant relationship with basic immunization coverage.

IMPLEMENTATION OF LOCALLY COMPENSATED RIDGE-GEOGRAPHICALLY WEIGHTED REGRESSION MODEL IN SPATIAL DATA WITH MULTICOLLINEARITY PROBLEMS (Case Study: Stunting among Children Aged under Five Years in East Nusa Tenggara Province)

East Nusa Tenggara Province, according to the findings of 2013 Baseline Health Research and 2016 and 2017 Nutritional Status Surveys, was recorded as the province with the highest prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. Efforts should be made to formulate policies that are integrated with spatial aspects in order to reduce the prevalence of stunting. The LCR-GWR model approach is used by using locally compensated ridge, which were meant to adjusts to the effect of collinearity between predictor variables (i.e., the factors affecting the prevalence of stunting) in each area. Results of the analysis showed that factors affecting the prevalence of stunting in all districts/cities in East Nusa Tenggara Province are the percentage of children aged under five who were weighed ≥ 4 times, the percentage of children aged under five who receive complete basic immunization, the percentage of households consuming iodized salt, the percentage of households with decent source of drinking water and the real per capita expenditure. The analysis showed that LCR-GWR is able to produce a better model than the GWR model in overcoming local multicollinearity problems in stunting in East Nusa Tenggara Province, with lower RMSE value (0.0344) than the GWR RMSE model (3.8899).

Perbandingan Metode Clustering dalam Pengelompokan Data Puskesmas pada Cakupan Imunisasi Dasar Lengkap

The coverage of Health Care Center toward UCI (Universal Child Immunization) at Banyuwangi Regency in 2018 met the target 91%. Onfortunately with a high amount of immunization, the number of infant deaths reached 138 infants. Total number increased 111 from the previous year. A review of the complete basic immunization data needs to be done. In this research, a clustering method was proposed by comparing the K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm in grouping Health Care Center data. Silhouette Coefficient and Standart Deviation were used to evaluate clusters that were perfomed to find out the accuracy in grouping data. The result showed that the FCM algorithm was better than K-Means based on Silhouette Coefficient results that were close to good, and the calculation of Standart Deviation had a smaller result that was 0.0918 than K-Means with the results of 0.0942. The Grouping of Heath Care Center data can be considered by the Health Department of Banyuwangi Regency in evaluating complete basic immunization services, especially in groups with poor immunization services to reduce infant and child mortality, so a disease that can be prevented with immunization become lower.
