ANALYSIS ON THE KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND PRACTICE REGARDING IMMUNIZATION OF UNDER-FIVE CHILDREN AMONG MOTHERS ATTENDING ANTENATAL CLINIC (ANC)
ABSTRACT
Immunization remains one of the most important public health interventions and a cost-effective strategy to reduce both the morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases. Over two million deaths are delayed through immunization each year worldwide. This present study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of mothers attending antenatal clinic in Madonna University Teaching Hospital (MUTH) in Nigeria, towards childhood immunization. This descriptive cross‐ sectional study involved 274 mothers attending antenatal clinics in MUTH from April‐June 2009. The results showed that almost all (93.8%) the respondents were aware of immunization and that immunization could prevent childhood illness (98.1%). However, some of the respondents (28.8%) felt immunization will make their children brilliant. While 45.5% of the respondents thought that polio vaccines ought to be given five (5) times while only 8.6% knew it should be given four (4) times. There were significant (P<0.05) relationships between age of respondents, ethnicity, level of education, occupation and attitude to immunization. However, there was no significant (P>0.05) relationship between religion and attitude to immunization. Although majority of the mothers were aware of the existence of immunization services, their knowledge of immunization schedule of vaccine preventable diseases is poor. A better understanding of routine immunization schedule is important in the design and implementation of immunization programmes. Educating mothers about the vaccines and vaccine preventable diseases, and improving their performance are recommended.
