Abstract

TT immunization is a tetanus germ vaccine that has been weakened. This TT immunization is an active
artificial immunization by giving the complete Tetanus Toxoid vaccine which is expected to prevent
Tetanus Neonatorum with >90% protection. In developing countries, most of the causes of neonatal death
are tanus neonaturum kanena, which are born in unclean and non-sterile places. The purpose of this study
was to determine the factors associated with the low coverage of tetanus toxoid (TT) immunization for
prospective brides in the Working Area of the Kurai Taji Health Center in 2020. The research was
conducted in April 2020. This type of research was an analytical descriptive study with a cross sectional
design. The population in this study were all prospective brides/WUS in the working area of the Kurai
Taji Health Center in 2020 as many as 1806 WUS, using a random sampling technique to obtain a sample
of 30 WUS. The data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using a computerized statistical test
using SPSS Ver.17 with a significance limit of α = 0.05 and a 95% degree of confidence. The results of
the univariate analysis showed that 56.7% of the prospective brides had high knowledge, 53.3% had a
negative attitude, 56.7% had low interest and 56.7% incomplete TT immunization coverage. Bivariate
analysis found a p value (p<0.05) meaning that there was a significant relationship between knowledge
(p=0.002), attitude (p=0.011) and interest (p=0.033) with the coverage of TT immunization in the
working area of the Kurai Taji Health Center. 2020. It is recommended that health workers at the Kurai
Taji Health Center be able to increase counseling and outreach about the importance of TT immunization
to prospective brides/mothers to prevent tetanus in the future and motivate them to continue to receive
complete TT immunization.
