Factors Associated with Complete Basic Immunization Among Children Aged 12-23 Months in West Sumatra Province: Analysis of the 2023 SKI Data
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Complete basic immunization (IDL) coverage among children aged 12-23 months remains low in West Sumatra. This study examined the associations of family support, residence, travel time, access to health facilities, transportation cost, and family structure with completion of basic immunization. This cross-sectional study used secondary data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI 2023). Of 670 eligible children aged 12-23 months, 534 with complete data on the study variables were included. Associations were assessed using chi-square tests. Of 534 children, 475 (89.0%) had incomplete basic immunization and 59 (11.0%) had complete basic immunization. Family support was associated with immunization status (p=0.003). Compared with children in the supportive-family category, those in the non-supportive category had higher odds of complete immunization (OR=10.5; 95% CI: 2.29-48.4. Residence, travel time, access to health facilities, and family structure were not statistically associated with immunization status. Family support was associated with immunization status, but the unexpected direction and sparse cells limit causal or programmatic interpretation. The findings indicate a need to clarify how family support is operationalized and to examine family decision-making alongside access-related factors in future studies.
