RELATIONSHIP OF FAMILY SUPPORT WITH MOTHER'S COMPLIANCE WITH IMMUNIZATION OF BASIC INFANTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER (PUSKESMAS) LIMA KAUM II, TANAH DATAR REGENCY IN 2019

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Immunization is a program that deliberately inserts weak antigens to stimulate antibodies out until the body can be resistant to certain diseases. Approximately 1.7 million deaths that occur in children or 5% of children under five in Indonesia are caused by diseases that can be prevented by immunization such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, tetanus, polio, and hepatitis B. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family support and Maternal compliance with the implementation of basic immunization in infants at the Public Health Center (Puskesmas) of Lima Kaum II, Tanah Datar Regency in 2019. This study was an analytical study using a cross-sectional study design. The population of this research is mothers who have babies aged 0-12 months with a total sample of 32 people. The sample was taken by using the purposive sampling technique. The research was conducted in September 2019 at the Public Health Center (Puskesmas) of Lima Kaum II. The results of this study were (56.3%) obedient mothers and poor family support (53.1%). The results showed that there was a relationship between family support and maternal compliance (p-value 0.04). Basic immunization must be given on time so that the baby can avoid preventable diseases by immunization with family support, which greatly determines the mother's compliance in carrying out the immunization program. Suggestions for Public Health Center (Puskemas) of Lima Kaum II officers must be more active in providing health education to mothers who have babies and toddlers about the benefits of immunization for toddlers and the impact if the child is not immunized.
