Abstract
IMPORTANCE The low coverage of complete basic immunization at Kebun Sikolos Primary Health Center increases the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, diphtheria, and polio. Strengthening community empowerment through family support is considered important to improve child health and increase immunization participation.
AIMS To analyze strategies to increase mothers’ participation in complete basic immunization for toddlers and to identify factors influencing maternal participation in immunization programs.
METHOSDS This study employed a qualitative case study design. Informants were selected using purposive sampling and consisted of 17 participants, including mothers of toddlers, family members, posyandu cadres, community leaders, program coordinators, and the head of the health center. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies, then analyzed thematically using source and method triangulation.
FINDINGS The findings revealed that low maternal participation in complete basic immunization was influenced by limited family support, inadequate health promotion targeting husbands, the role of health workers, policy factors, and socio-cultural conditions. Effective strategies identified included continuous health education, family involvement, strengthening the role of posyandu cadres, and improving access to immunization services. Husband involvement in health education emerged as an important factor in increasing maternal participation.
CONCLUSION Low maternal participation in complete basic immunization is influenced by family support, health promotion, health service factors, and socio-cultural conditions. Family-centered empowerment and husband involvement are important strategies to improve immunization coverage.
RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Nurses and primary healthcare providers should involve husbands and families in immunization education and strengthen community-based support to increase maternal participation and complete basic immunization coverage.
