DEVELOPMENT OF MODEL ON MOTHERS SELF-EFFICACY IN PREVENTING RECURRENCE OF NON-PNEUMONIA ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTION AMONG TODDLERS
ABSTRACT: Acute Respiratory
Infection (ARI) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. A
cough and cold diseases such as rhinitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis and other
upper respiratory diseases are classified as non-pneumonia. ARIs that are not
appropriately handled will affect the lung tissue and cause severity and even
death. The purpose of this study is to develop a model of self-efficacy (SE)
among mother to prevent recurrent (PR) non pneumonia (NP)-ARI on toddlers based
on the integration of Precede-Proceed Model and Health Belief Model. Method:
This study used cross-sectional design. The population were a mother with a
toddler in Tanggalrejo Village of Mojoagung Jombang. A hundred toddler’s mothers were recruited as
samples by cluster sampling. Variables in this study were
predisposing-enabling-reinforcing factors, main constructs of perceived (MCP),
perceived threat, SE and PRNP-ARI. Data were collected using questionnaire, and
Focus Group Discussion then analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS). Results:
The SE improvement model for the PRNP-ARI was formed from
predisposing-enabling-reinforcing factors, MCP, perceived threat, and maternal
SE. The greatest effect was on MCP against a perceived threat with T statistic
value = 11.07. Conclusion and recommendation: Increasing SE of toddler's mother
can be done by educating mother about ARI concept, conventional ARI treatment,
environmental modification, benefits of mask use, clean and healthy life
behavior, proper hand washing, nutrition feeding, exclusive breastfeeding,
stress management; create peer support group for toddlers mother; and
optimizing the role of health officers and family support.
