Description
Background: The data reveal a consistent decrease in the overall
immunization coverage for babies in Kota Pariaman over a span of four
years. Specifically, the coverage rates were recorded as 81.8% in 2018,
78.6% in 2019, 55.7% in 2020, and 66.7% in 2021.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the factors that contribute to
the decrease in the achievement of complete basic immunization among
children in Kota Pariaman.
Methods: The present study used the quantitative research method with
a cross-sectional design. The study sample comprised of mothers with
infants aged 12 months residing in Pariaman City. A purposive sampling
method was employed to choose a total of 154 participants. The research
was carried out between March 2022 and October 2022. Univariate analysis
describes variable frequency, bivariate examines relationships using chisquare
(p<0.05) and multivariate employs logistic regression, identifying
influential variables.
Results: Key findings include a lack of knowledge (40.3%), non-supportive
attitudes of mothers (56.5%), mistrust by mothers (42.9%), limited access to
health resources (52.6%), and inadequate family support (48.1%). There was
significant support from healthcare workers (94.2%) and moderate backing
from community leaders (56.5%). Significantly, a noteworthy association
was observed between knowledge (p < 0.05), attitudes (p < 0.05), and
family support (p < 0.05), and the successful attainment of fundamental
vaccinations.
Conclusion: Factors leading to the decreased rate of complete basic
immunization for infants in Kota Pariaman include attitude, family support,
and knowledge. As a remedy, local governments and health workers are
urged to proactively provide health education on the significance of full
basic immunization for infants. This preventive measure is paramount in
safeguarding against severe acute illnesses, benefiting both the child and
the broader community
