Abstract

Immunization is one of the most cost-effective and commonly used public health strategies for preventing child mortality. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of incomplete immunization and associated variables in children aged 12-23 months in the Aleta Wondo district of Southern Ethiopia. The researchers utilized a community-based cross-sectional study approach. A modified World Health Organization-Expanded Program on Immunization cluster sampling method was used to choose 634 mothers/caregivers of children aged 12-23 months. Data were collected by trained data collectors between March and April 2019. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were done. In this study, 138 (21.8%) of children were not completed their immunization. Mothers who were literate [AOR = 2.1; (95% CI: 1.1, 4.2)]. Home birth [AOR = 2.9; (95% CI: 1.7, 5.3)], walking time from home to vaccination site [AOR = 1.95; (95% CI: 1.1,3.3)], inconvenience times for vaccination service [AOR = 2.4; (95% CI: 1.3,4.5)], postponing vaccination session schedule [AOR = 2.4; (95% CI:1.1,5.4)], households not visited by health extension workers [AOR = 4.1; (95% CI: 2.2,7.4)], poorer knowledge about child immunization [AOR = 4; (95% CI:2.2,7.5)] were factors associated with incomplete immunization. Incomplete immunization was higher compared to the national target. It is necessary to strengthen the program by enhancing the number of outreach sites considering the size of the target group.

埃塞俄比亚南部西达马区 Aletawondo 县 12-23 个月儿童未完成免疫接种情况及相关因素:横断面研究。
免疫接种是预防儿童死亡的最具成本效益且最常用的公共卫生策略之一。本研究的目的是确定埃塞俄比亚南部阿莱塔翁多区 12-23 个月大儿童未完成免疫接种的普遍程度及相关变量。研究人员采用了基于社区的横断面研究方法。研究人员采用经修改的世界卫生组织-扩大免疫计划群组抽样方法,选择了 634 名 12-23 个月大儿童的母亲/照顾者。数据由经过培训的数据收集员在 2019 年 3 月至 4 月间收集。研究人员进行了描述性统计和逻辑回归。在这项研究中,138 名儿童(21.8%)未完成免疫接种。识字的母亲[AOR = 2.1; (95% CI: 1.1, 4.2)]。在家分娩[AOR = 2.9; (95% CI: 1.7, 5.3)]、从家中步行到接种地点的时间[AOR = 1.95; (95% CI: 1.1, 3.3)]、接种服务不便[AOR = 2.4; (95% CI: 1.3, 4.5)]、推迟接种时间[AOR = 2.4; (95% CI:1.1,5.4)]、卫生推广人员未走访的家庭[AOR = 4.1; (95% CI:2.2,7.4)]、对儿童免疫接种知识了解较少[AOR = 4; (95% CI:2.2,7.5)]是导致免疫接种不完全的相关因素。与国家目标相比,不完全免疫率更高。考虑到目标群体的规模,有必要通过增加外展点的数量来加强该计划。
