Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001

This study examined factors affecting pentavalent immunisation (DPT-HB-Hib vaccine) provision in an urban village in West Java, Indonesia. Researchers surveyed 50 mothers with babies aged 2-4 months in April 2018 to identify correlations with immunisation uptake. The study found that mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and support from health officers were significantly associated with whether babies received the pentavalent vaccine. The researchers recommend that health services focus on improving information about pentavalent immunisation and motivating parents to vaccinate their children.

Key points

Pentavalent immunisation coverage in West Java exceeded targets in 2014: DPT-HB-Hib 1 reached 59.3% (target 57.2%), DPT-HB-Hib 2 reached 57.9% (target 55.4%), and DPT-HB-Hib 3 reached 57.8% (target 52.5%)
Mothers' knowledge about pentavalent immunisation was significantly correlated with provision (p=0.035)
Mothers' attitudes toward immunisation were significantly correlated with provision (p=0.039)
Health officer support was significantly correlated with pentavalent immunisation provision (p=0.034)

Limitations

The study is limited to a single urban village in West Java and uses a small sample of 50 mothers, which may not be representative of broader patterns in Indonesia. The cross-sectional design cannot establish causality, only associations.

Abstract

Pentavalent immunisation was carried out simultaneously in Indonesia in February 2014 in West Java, the immunisation coverage until July was above the average target. Immunisation of DPT-HB-Hib 1 from the target coverage of 57.2% turned out to be 59.3%, DPT-HB-Hib 2 from the target of 55.4% the coverage was 57.9%, DPT-HB-Hib 3 from the target of 52.5% through July coverage was more than 57.8%. This study used an analytical survey with a cross sectional approach carried out in April 2018. The sample of this study was 50 mothers who had babies aged 2-4 months. Data analysis was performed using Chi-Square. The results showed that there was a correlation between knowledge (p = 0.035), attitude (p= 0.039) and Health Officer Support (p= 0.034) with the provision of Pentavalent Immunization in Kapuas Kanan Hulu Village in the Work Area of Puskesmas Sungai Durian Sintang. The health care can focus more on providing information about Pentavalent Immunisation and fostering the desire of the community to immunise their babies by motivating people to maintain the health and development of their children.
