MOTHER\u27S KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COMPLETE BASIC IMMUNIZATION OF BABIES AGED 0–1 YEARS AT THE PUSKESMAS PEKAN HERAN

It is known that the highest prevalence of disease in babies at the UPTD Pekan Heran Community Health Center is acute pharyngitis (37 people), ISPA (117 people), and influenza (73 people). Judging from the KMS when providing immunizations at Posyandu, there are many toddlers whose immunization lists are incomplete. Providing immunizations can prevent and reduce the incidence of morbidity, disability, and death due to diseases that can be prevented by immunization (PD3I). This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge about immunization and the completeness of basic immunization in babies aged 0–12 months. This type of research is analytical, showing the relationship between one variable and another using a cross-sectional approach. The total sample of 264 respondents was determined using the purposive sampling technique. The statistical test used is the chi square test. The research results showed that a p value of 0.000 was obtained. So it can be concluded that there is a relationship between a mother\u27s knowledge and the completeness of basic immunization for babies aged 0–1 year in the Pekan Heran Puskesmas UPTD Work Area. It is hoped that in the future, health workers will provide information in education and increase mothers\u27 motivation regarding the importance of providing immunizations and monitoring the provision of immunizations according to the baby\u27s age so that confidence is created in doing so
