Keywords:
Knowledge, Maternal Mortality Rate, Midwives' Attitudes, TT Immunization, TetanusAbstract
One measure of the effectiveness of health sector improvement is the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR). Maternal mortality was predicted by the World Health Organization (2020) to be 303,000, or around 216 per 100,000 live births. Tetanus is a dangerous illness that can be fatal. Maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity are still caused by tetanus. The secret to effectively lowering mother and newborn mortality is using midwives as a bridge to learn about the history of TT vaccination. The goal of this study was to ascertain how midwives' attitudes and knowledge on TT immunization screening 1 relate to TT booster. This study employed a cross-sectional method of quantitative research. 30 individuals made up the study's population, and 30 individuals were included in the overall sampling procedure. Chi Square was utilized to analyze data. The findings revealed a strong correlation between midwives' attitudes and TT immunization (p = 0.000) and between midwives' knowledge and TT immunization (p = 0.000). Thus, it can be said that midwives' attitudes and understanding about TT booster and TT 1 vaccination screening at Bonepantai Community Health Center are related.
