Abstract
The caregivers of children aged 0-23 months are lack of knowledge and information about vaccination which resulting in the low rates of vaccination in Lamongan. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of education intervention on caregiver’s knowledge about vaccination in children aged 0-23 months in Lamongan, East Java, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental design with one group of pretest-posttest without control group design was employed. One hundred and thirty caregivers in one group that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected from the Integrated Healthcare Centers (Posyandu) in five villages. The caregivers answered a pretest questionnaire and socio-economic data. After that, they received education about vaccination in children aged 0-23 months using video records and wheel vaccination calendar. Next month on the day of vaccination, a posttest with same question as pretest was administered. The results of the validity research instrument showed that the I-CVI was 0.79. Reliability for measuring caregiver’s knowledge about vaccination using KR-20 was 0.83. The statistical analysis was performed by using Paired sample t-Test. The result showed a significant increase in mean ±SD from 20.69 (± 2.58) before intervention to 24.97 (± 2.58) after intervention at the level of p<0.001. According to the result of this study, education interventions using video records and wheel vaccination calendars can increase caregivers’ knowledge about vaccination in children aged 0-23 months. Future research should be done with a larger number of participants to provide more quality representation. Twenty-three months program to monitor vaccination in each age can be measured for effective education intervention.
