Abstract

Indonesian people's understanding of immunization and early detection is still different, so babies and toddlers have not received immunizations in health services. Husband's support has an important role in providing support and motivation so that mothers come to every posyandu activity. Data from the 2020 Indonesian Health Profile shows that diarrhea is the second largest contributor to death after pneumonia (lung infection) in babies aged 29 days - 11 months, namely 9.8% and in the group of toddlers aged 12-59 months, 4.5% of total deaths. . The aim of the research is to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge and husband's support with the provision of Rotavirus immunization in Merjosari Village, Malang City. The research design is an analytical method with a cross sectional approach which was carried out on a sample of 80 respondents in Merjosari Village, Malang City. The data collection tools used were a mother's knowledge questionnaire with 17 question items, a husband's support questionnaire with 12 statement items. The results of research on maternal knowledge showed that of the 80 respondents, the majority of mothers' knowledge was good with 52 respondents (65%) being given rotavirus immunization. The results of the Chi-Square test in this study show that there is a relationship between maternal knowledge and immunization for babies in Merjosaroi Village, Malang City with a value of p=0.000; 0.05. The results of research on husband's support showed that of the 80 respondents, the majority supported rotavirus immunization, 61 respondents (76.3%). The results of the Chi-Square test in this study show that there is a relationship between saumi support and immunization for babies in Merjosaroi Village, Malang City with a value of p=0.001; 0.05. Based on the results of this research, community health centers and cadres can carry out the activities needed to increase mothers' knowledge about rotavirus immunization and husband support, such as providing counseling to mothers, holding programs that demonstrate immunization activities and encouraging mothers to come to the posyandu for immunization.

Review

This study, "Hubungan Pengetahuan Ibu dan Dukungan Suami dengan Pemberian Imunisasi Rotavirus pada Bayi di Kelurahan Merjosari Kota Malang," addresses a highly relevant and critical public health issue concerning the uptake of Rotavirus immunization in Indonesia. Given the stated high prevalence of diarrhea as a leading cause of infant mortality in the country, understanding the determinants of immunization compliance is paramount. The research appropriately aims to explore the relationship between maternal knowledge, husband's support, and the provision of Rotavirus immunization, employing an analytical cross-sectional design to identify associations within a specific community. The methodology is clearly articulated, utilizing a sample of 80 respondents from Merjosari Village and employing structured questionnaires to gather data on maternal knowledge and husband's support. The study's main findings are robust and compelling: it significantly demonstrates a strong positive relationship between maternal knowledge and the provision of Rotavirus immunization (p=0.000). Crucially, the research also establishes a significant correlation between husband's support and immunization uptake (p=0.001). These results, supported by Chi-Square tests, provide strong empirical evidence for the influence of these two factors. The practical recommendations for community health centers and cadres, such as targeted counseling and demonstrative programs, are well-justified by the findings and offer actionable strategies for public health improvement. While the study provides valuable insights, some considerations could enhance its overall impact. As a cross-sectional design, the findings establish correlation but not causation, a limitation that is inherent to the methodology and typically warrants acknowledgment. Further research could explore longitudinal designs or qualitative approaches to delve deeper into the mechanisms through which husband's support influences maternal decisions. Despite these minor points, the paper makes a significant and timely contribution to the literature on child health and immunization in Indonesia. It effectively highlights critical determinants of immunization uptake, offering a solid foundation for developing targeted and culturally sensitive public health interventions aimed at increasing Rotavirus immunization coverage and ultimately reducing infant mortality from diarrheal diseases.
