The low level of complete basic immunization coverage is still a very difficult
problem to face. Based on data from Pelawa Village, of the 84 children who should
have been given complete basic immunization, only 44 children had complete
immunization. From direct observations and interviews with several mothers in
Pelawa Village, it was found that several mothers did not fully immunize their
children on the grounds that after immunization their children would get sick. The
aim of this research was to determine mothers' behavior towards providing
complete basic immunization in Pelawa Village, Parigi Tengah District, Parigi
Moutong Regency. This type of qualitative research uses a phenomenological study
approach. There were 11 informants using purposive sampling technique. The
results of the research revealed that knowledge factors related to the type, method
of administration, age and administration must be in accordance with the complete
basic immunization schedule, which was explained quite well by the informants. In
terms of trust, there were still informants who believed that giving immunizations
caused children to get sick. Immunization services were difficult for several
informants to access due to the fact that they were quite far away. In terms of
driving factors, there are some family members who do not allow their children to
be immunized on the grounds that it will only cause the child to get sick. It is hoped
that midwives can provide counseling or education to mothers regarding the
importance of providing complete basic immunizations to children so that mothers
are not easily influenced by myths or beliefs in society.
