Studi Epidemiologi Kejadian Ikutan Pasca Imunisasi (KIPI) Pekan Imunisasi Nasional (PIN) Polio pada Anak Usia Sekolah di Puskesmas Poasia Kendari Tahun 2024

Abstrak

Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) are medical reactions that occur after immunization, ranging from mild to severe. The National Immunization Week (PIN) Polio program aims to increase immunization coverage to prevent the spread of polio. However, AEFI risks need to be analyzed, particularly in school-aged children. This study aims to describe the incidence of AEFI among school-aged children at Poasia Health Center in Kendari, based on various factors such as nutritional status, disease history, vaccine doses, and family support. This research employed a descriptive design with a quantitative approach. The study sample consisted of 68 school-aged children who experienced AEFI after receiving PIN-Polio immunization. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using frequency distribution. The results showed that most children experiencing AEFI had normal nutritional status (63.2%). The majority received the second vaccine dose (64.7%), and 26.5% had a history of illness before immunization. The most common AEFI symptom was fever (44.1%), with symptoms lasting more than 12 hours in 55.9% of cases. Most parents provided high emotional support (92.6%), high informational support (70.6%), high instrumental support (76.5%), and high appraisal support (61.8%). AEFI incidents after PIN-Polio immunization vary, with fever being the most frequently reported symptom. Family support plays a crucial role in managing AEFI. Therefore, further monitoring of AEFI risk factors is necessary to improve the effectiveness and safety of immunization programs
