Information System Development of Tetanus Toxoid Immunization at the Health Centre to Support the Monitoring of Immunization Program in Salatiga City

Abstract

Immunization of Tetanus Toxoid is to prevent the Tetanus disease. Tetanus disease that could infect a baby is called Tetanus Neonatorum (TN). This disease could cause an infant mortality. A strategy and policy of elimination of Tetanus Neonatorum is to free an area from this disease. To reach a goal, immunization of TT 5 doses is given to a woman group who is included 15-39 years old at high risk villages. Then, this program is extended to student by a program of Immunization Month for Students and a routine immunization for pregnant women. The Problems, which are faced by the Health Office of Salatiga City in determining a status of TT immunization, are inaccurate data, data application, and data redundancy. Therefore, to get good data, it needs to develop information system of TT immunization based on a computer. Development of system uses the FAST (Framework for Application of System Technique) method. The Health Center group would be given intervention by applying the new system. The Health Center group as a case would be compared with a control group. Variables which are measured are speed, an accuracy, a completeness, and easy to access information. The result of this research is information system, which could monitor a status of TT immunization since a baby until a pregnant woman. The result of intervention on a case group is t = -33,33 and p value = 0,00001 (< 0,05). It means that there is any difference, which is very significant between before and after development system.The result for a control group is t = -1,92 and p value = 0,298. It means that there is no difference between before and after development of system. Sumber Utama : www.mikm.undip.ac.id
