Immunization is an effort to increase the body's immunity actively against a particular
disease, thus, if one day it is exposed to the disease it will not cause a severe illness
or only cause a mild illness. Immunization program is an effort of health intervention
to prevent the death of infant and toddler. Therefore, the factors of maternal
compliance in providing immunizations have a major influence on the success of
immunization programs. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors related to
maternal compliance in providing basic immunization to toddler in Semarang. This
study was an analytical observational study with a Case-Control design. The
population in this study were 67 respondents in the case group and 549 respondents
in the control group who were recorded to immunize their toddler in the period of
January-June 2018. The sample size in this study was 134 respondents consisted of
67 case groups and 67 control groups selected using proportional random sampling
techniques. Data were collected by interview using a questionnaire. The bivariate
analysis used Chi-square with 95% significance. Bivariate analysis showed that age
(p = 0.796), work (p = 0.489), education (p = 0.309), confidence (p = 990), knowledge
(p = 0.003), perception of vulnerability (p = <0.001), perception of seriousness (p =
0.464), perceived benefit (p = 0.075), perceived barriers (p = <0.001), self-efficacy (p
= 0.003), environmental support (p = <0.001). It can be concluded that there is a
relationship between knowledge, perceptions of vulnerability, perceived barriers, self-
efficacy and environmental support toward maternal compliance in providing basic
immunizations to toddlers. The support of health workers are needed in the form of
education by using leaflet, X-banners, and posters which are distributed to mothers
and displayed in Puskesmas in order to stimulate public awareness.
