Background: Basic immunization is an important preventive strategy to protect infants from infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination. At Posyandu X, Bekasi Regency, basic immunization coverage has not yet reached the optimal target. One factor suspected to be the cause of this low coverage is the low level of knowledge of mothers regarding the importance of immunization, including its benefits, schedule, and potential side effects. Lack of information can impact low awareness and participation of parents in completing their children's immunizations. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge levels and the completeness of basic immunizations in children aged 0–12 months. Method: This study used a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational approach and a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 80 mothers with infants aged 0–12 months, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instruments used included a questionnaire to measure maternal knowledge levels and a checklist to assess the completeness of children's immunizations. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed that most mothers had a low level of knowledge (48%). In addition, only 37.5% of infants received complete basic immunizations. The analysis results showed a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and the completeness of basic immunization (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Maternal knowledge is significantly related to the completeness of basic immunization in children aged 0–12 months. Therefore, it is recommended that Posyandu regularly provide education and counseling to improve maternal knowledge and basic immunization coverage in the community.

Background: Anaemia during pregnancy remains a significant health problem in Indonesia, despite the long-standing implementation of iron (Fe) tablet supplementation programmes. One of the factors contributing to the high prevalence of anaemia is the low level of compliance among pregnant women in taking Fe tablets as recommended by medical professionals. However, compliance in taking Fe tablets is crucial to prevent various complications that can endanger the health of both the mother and the foetus. This study aims to determine the level of compliance among pregnant women in consuming iron tablets at RSUD X Jakarta Barat. The study employed a quantitative descriptive design with accidental sampling, involving 77 pregnant women who attended Antenatal Care (ANC) visits during April 2025. The instrument used was a closed-ended questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing. Data analysis was conducted using univariate methods and presented in the form of frequency distributions and percentages. The results showed that the majority of respondents were aged 20–35 years (66.2%), had completed high school education (51.9%), worked as housewives (44.2%), and were in their second to fifth pregnancies (51.9%). The level of compliance among pregnant women in taking iron tablets was categorised as compliant for 46 respondents (59.7%) and non-compliant for 31 respondents (40.3%). In conclusion, although the majority of pregnant women demonstrated compliance, further educational and supportive efforts are still required.

The instrument used was a questionnaire containing 25 objective questions that measured respondents' knowledge before and after the intervention. The intervention was carried out in the form of health education through direct counseling supported by animated videos. Data analysis in this study used the Wilcoxon test. Research Results: The results showed a significant increase in the level of knowledge of pregnant women after the health education intervention, with a p-value of 0.000 (P<0.05). Before the intervention, most respondents had fair and poor knowledge, while after the intervention, the majority of respondents showed an increase in knowledge to the good category. Conclusion: It can be concluded that health education significantly influences the increase in knowledge of pregnant women regarding the importance of exclusive breastfeeding in the Tanete Community Health Center (Puskesmas) work area. Recommendation: It is recommended that educational programs on breastfeeding be routinely integrated into antenatal care (ANC) services, supported by engaging educational media, to increase the knowledge of pregnant women and support the success of the exclusive breastfeeding program in the community.
